Itinerary:

YYC is organizing a public event with Ice Climbing Canada and Climb YYC to bring all the excitement of dry tooling and ice climbing to the Chinook Blast Winter Festival in Calgary! 

RMS will be there to assist. We need volunteers (6-10pm Jan 30&31) at the ACC Calgary/RMS booth at the wall, to chat with the public about our Section, programs, trips, and of course, climbing!   If you want, you could take a turn on the wall!   

Please email kbmorianos@gmail.com (cc. sectionrep.accrms@gmail.com) indicating the date and time you want to volunteer.  

If you don't want to volunteer, please drop by and visit, this event is free and all ages!

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
