  • Location
    Lake Louise

  Join waitlist

  Organizer: Karl Parkinson

  Activity Type: Rock Climbing

  Difficulty Rating: Intermediate, Difficult

  Come enjoy some of the finest sport climbing anywhere in Canada at Back of the Lake in Lake Louise. Bomber quartzite rock and a location that is unmatched. There are some bonus trad lines if that is your jam as well.

  We have 2 sites reserved at the Lake Louise - Soft/Hard-Sided campground. There is a maximum of 2 vehicles and 2 tents per site, so car pooling and sharing tents will be necessary. Likely we will take the shuttle to avoid dealing with parking, but that is TBD and will be decided closer to the date.

  Cost should be around $20/person + gas and food with 10 people across 2 sites.

  Preference will be given to people who are comfortable leading as the focus of this trip is meant to be climbing. All registrants will be waitlisted initially.

  I am looking for a one or two co-leaders, so if you want to help please get in touch.

  Prerequisites / Courses Required: Able to lead climb, set anchors, clean anchors, and lead belay,
  

  Please refer to the AAMC Policies regarding Animals, Carpooling, Accommodation, and Cancellation.

  All participants will be waitlisted first and added to the trip once fitness suitability and payment have been verified. While there is a beginner classification rating on this trip, you must have a minimum fitness level to attend. The distance to Jacque Lake is 12km one way, as we will need to arrive on a Friday evening, some distance will be covered during the later evening. All participants will be expected to sign up for and attend the ‘ Packing for a Trip’ meet up at Alfred Savage Center the Wednesday evening before the trip, June 25.

  
  

  Activity Type: Backcountry Hiking, Overnight Backpacking.

  
  Difficulty Rating: Beginner, Intermediate

  Itinerary: Let’s have a fun weekend enjoying the spectacular scenery hiking into Jacque Lake. Parking at the South End of Medicine Lake, we will travel along a mostly gentle, flat trail , 12 km to our campsite at the east end of Jacque Lake. Expect elevation gain of 90 meters. Arriving on Friday evening, we will set up camp and likely sleep soon after. Saturday’s plan will be to explore the trail to Merlin pass to the north of Jacque lake. 10 km to the pass, should provide a suitable days hike to explore a seldom used trail. If the trail is overgrown, we will adjust plans as required. Saturday supper will be a shared event, with tent mates sharing food duties. Sunday will be our pack up and depart day, likely by noon to facilitate the return trail and drive home.

  Prerequisites / Courses Required: This is an all conditions trip, you must be prepared for unsettled weather. The trip leader will coordinate tent and car pool logistics. A What’s App channel will be created for the participants ease of coordinating.
  

  Required items to bring: Tent to share, sleeping bag, shared stove among your tent, necessary clothes for 2 nights in the backcountry, shared food for 1 supper among your tent, 2 lunches and breakfasts for yourself.

  DTC Pick and Play!!! (Climbing and Other Outdoor Fun!)

  Organizers: Jenn Lumley and Cory Roffey

  Difficulty Rating: All levels

  Description:

  Every year a dedicated group of local stewards organizes a garbage cleanup in the David Thompson Corridor area (around Abraham Lake). This area is beautiful. Let’s help keep it that way by giving a bit of our time to help with the clean up. It’s always a good time - a great place to meet fellow outdoor adventurers and there are a ton of sweet prizes for participants!  The plan is to make this a weekend trip for the AAMC and attend the clean up as part of the weekend trip events.

  Here is the instagram posting for the event:

  Join us for the David Thompson Corridor Cleanup!

  When: Saturday, July 19, 2025

  Where: Meet at Pinto Lake Staging Area at 10 AM

  Let’s come together to give back to this incredible landscape we all love. Whether you’re a climber, hiker, camper, or nature-lover—this is your chance to make a difference, meet awesome people, and spend the day outside doing something meaningful.

  What’s in store:

  • Prizes & giveaways

  • Good vibes & new friends

  • A chance to care for the wild places that care for us

  Bring gloves, water, and your stoke for stewardship. See you out there

  Follow @davidthompsoncorridorcleanup on Instagram for more info and updates!

  The Plan…

  Friday, July 18th: Head down to David Thompson area and free camp at the Abraham Slabs Area. Cory and Jenn will try to arrive as early as possible to secure a spot big enough for everyone who is camping. You are of course free to set up your own accommodations elsewhere or even drive up Saturday AM… but camping is fun and it is always a good time hanging out as a group!

  Saturday, July 19th: We'll meetup at the cleanup at the Pinto Lake Staging area at 9:30am (30 min before the cleanup starts). We will participate in the clean up until 1pm and then head off for some afternoon objectives.  After the day is done, everyone is free to meet at the campsite for some socializing around the fire.  

  Sunday, July 20th: Another great day of outdoor adventure. We can have conversations on Saturday night about locations and objectives for Sunday.  We will aim to wrap up our activities and objectives by 3pm.

  If you have any questions, reach out on the whatsApp or email roffeyc@gmail.com

  Once it gets closer, we will create a Whatsapp group to chat and work out details
