We can practice some crevasse rescue training that day/evening and then get up early (alpine start 3am) and climb up Mt. Athabasca Sat or Sun morning -weather depending (via the Silverhorn Route) and then drive back to Calgary Sat/Sun afternoon/evening. Note, another trip leader will be present to lead a second rope on this trip.

Carpool Cost:		Please make a contribution towards the cost of gas and maintenance to your carpool driver.
Notes:
Camping cost is about $25/night and I believe you can only fit one tent per site so each of you will need to bring $25 and your own tent unless you arrange to stay with someone else.
