New to climbing or need a refresher? This clinic is designed to give you the tools needed to safely top rope climb and belay. Topics covered will include proper use of equipment, climbing knots, proper communication and protocols, how to belay effectively and additional safety techniques.

As our climbing community grows, we are happy to offer this free clinic to Manitoba section and St Boniface section members.

FAQs

 Are there minimum age requirements to enter the event?

Yes - Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who will be responsible for the child at all times. 

Participants under the age of 18 must have the waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian. The waiver must be signed in the presence of the trip leader so the trip leader can witness the signature.

Definition of  "Legal Guardian" – A biological parent is typically the legal guardian of a person under the age of 18. In some cases, a legal guardian is the person that has been officially appointed by court order or in a Will. These are the only acceptable signatures on the ACC waiver for those under the age of 18.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

A few days before the event, the trip leader will email the group to facilitate any carpooling and planning around the event objectives. Each person or family group is responsible for their own transportation planning.
