	Old Trip
	This is the sign up and organization page for an old trip. It already happened. Please do not sign up for it.

Date

February 9^nd -10^th, 2008

Pre Trip meeting Wednesday Feb 6th 2008, 6pm, clubroom

Pre-requisites...

Ideally, all students will have done some leading on rock (sport OK), and will have experience belaying a leader. Some exceptions can be made. If in doubt, just ask me...

Gear

1. Rigid(ish) mountaineering boots
2. Harness
3. Belay device, some screw-gates
4. Helmet
5. Crampons
6. Ice tools
7. Waterproofs, jacket+pants
8. Gloves (lots of pairs, thin ones for climbing and thick ones to thaw your hands while belaying)
9. Toque
10. Headlamp !!!!
11. Camping gear - tent, stove, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, warm clothes etc etc

The Club gear room has a few pairs of double plastic mountaineering boots, and a huge supply of harnesses and helmets. We have a limited supply of decent climbing crampons too. You will however need to have your own belay device, and ideally a few screw-gate biners to go with it. If you have slings, quickdraws, daisychains etc, bring those too. I will try to organise ice axes for everybody closer to the time by borrowing tools from everybody I know who won't be instructing, but if you can arrange your own then please please please do - there will be a shortage.

Instructors will be responsible for bringing ropes, screws and draws/extenders/screamers, however I will help out with finding screws if you don't have enough.

Location

The location of this trip will depend on ice conditions and will be announced at the pre-trip meting, however by far the best bet is the Lillooet area. The Rambles (on the Duffey Lake Road before Lillooet) or Marble Canyon are possible destinations. The trip will definitely involve wild camping beside the climbs to maximise climbing time, and we will try to leave on friday afternoon (but not before 6pm). I'm afraid a long drive will be required...
