| Notes: |
|
This is a 3,368 meters (11,049 feet) peak so a reasonable level of fitness is required. The trip will involve class 4 and low fifth class climbing across the Huber Ledges (we can rope up) and roped glacier travel/steep snow climbing with possible ice sections to ascend Huber itself. The descent may require rappels and will involve downclimbing the ascent route.
Participants need to have glacier travel experience and crevasse rescue skills.
Please email Paul or add notes to your registration about your glacier/crevasse rescue skills experience.
The cost for the event is $40.00 each to cover the return bus trip and the bivi permit (Paul will arrange the bus and bivi permit).
Please be aware that the trip will involve risks associated with scrambling and glacier travel on an alpine peak that can include hazards include rock or ice fall, slips, falls and crevasses.

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.
