Group camping at Marmot Meadows returns this year! This year you can buy your "tickets" for our legendarily awesome group camping weekends on Eventbrite.
Alpine & Short Roping Course
If you’ve found yourself faffing about on moderate ground, trying to figure out how to get up it faster, you’re not alone. On many of the Rockies’ classic alpine routes, moderate terrain makes up the majority of the ground travelled, and this terrain can be the bane of many a climber. This course will help you move up long routes with ease, and be back at the trailhead comfortably in time for happy hour.
Rock Rescue Course Open!
Summer in the Mountains registration is open
The Edmonton section's Basic Mountaineering Course registration is now open.
Course details can be found on this linked page. Course begings April 11. Limited to 24 students

New Trip First Aid Requirements
he Edmonton Section puts a priority on safety for all our mountain and urban activities. To this end, the Edmonton Section Board adopted a policy that at least 1 person on every trip must have valid First Aid training plus a CPR-A valid certificate, effective Nov. 1, 2018. Training must be at least a 16 hour first aid course (or equivalent re-certification), such as Standard First Aid or Wilderness First Aid.
Call for Summer Skills Program Instructors
Are you an experienced multipitch climber? Do you climb a bunch on trad gear and feel comfortable teaching others how to do it? We're considering offering courses in multipitch efficiency and trad gear use this summer. We'd like to offer something unique to our membership, and a volunteer-run course would be an excellent opportunity for our members to develop their skills under your kind tutelage!

WOI+ Ice Climbing Mentorship Program
“Winter on Ice Plus” (WOI+) is a new mentorship program designed for ice climbers who have had some beginner training and want to make the transition to more challenging ice and mixed climbing routes. Most importantly, this program is intended for those that are keen to be on the "sharp end" of both climbing routes and coordinating trips with the ACC.
2017 Election Results
The Alpine Club of Canada – Edmonton Section is made up of mountain-minded individuals, who come together to share their unique strengths, knowledge and experience. It would not be the vibrant and resilient organization of 100+ years without the resourcefulness of members who also volunteer their time and energy.
