The cost of both nights is 94.92 CAD / person. Participants will need to transfer the money to karljparkinson@gmail.com for successful registration. Below is the plan.

Friday (Nov 20) evening: Leave from Edmonton and stay the night at Shunda Creek hostel.

Saturday (Nov 21): Drytooling all day at the Quarry! Expect it to get windy and cold even on a relatively warm day. So bring warm cloths and beverages

Sunday (Nov 22): We will review the plan based on the conditions and the mood of the group. If there is some early ice, we can do some ice climbing. Otherwise we will drytool at Quarry and head back to Edmonton early or late afternoon, depending on the group's appetite for pie
