Monthly Skills and Social Night @ the RCC
December 7 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Let’s get together once a month to spend a 3-hour private session at the Regina Climbing Club. We will go over published accident reports so we can learn from them; focus on specific skills like PAS, anchors, and rope systems; and finish the night with some general climbing or continued practice.
Date: December 7, 2024. We’ll continue on the first Saturday of the month (notice will be given via Facebook Group/Gym Chalk board should this conflict with something).
Location: Regina Climbing Centre (606 B Solomon Crescent).
Time: 6pm – 9pm (the gym will be closed and locked from 5pm to 6pm, so please incorporate that into your timing).
Cost: Free. All participants will need to have an active RCC Waiver. The drop-in rate will be waived for non-RCC members, but perhaps this will convince you to get one…
Other details: Food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed so long as the gym is kept clean, there are no greasy fingers on the holds, and open beverages and food are not placed on the mats. All participants will need to be checked in.
Schedule: Accidents in North America discussion (1 hr); skill demos and hands on (1 hr); social climbing (1 hr); and topics will be posted to the GPS Facebook group in advance.
Create lasting memories, meet new friends!

Trip Info & Guidelines
Guidelines For Trip Participants
All trips listed in the Great Plains Section’s trip schedule are coordinated by amateur volunteer hikers, skiers and climbers. When on a trip, participants must act in a manner that is safe and responsible and participants are expected to bring the equipment requested by the trip organizer. Participants should find out the requirements and demands of the trip well in advance by asking the organizer and researching the trip in guidebooks and other literature. You must be a member of the Great Plains Section of the Alpine Club of Canada to join a trip.
Further guidelines for participants
- Be prepared to complete a Release of Liability (Waiver). Waiver Form
- You must be a member of the Great Plains Section of the Alpine Club of Canada to join a trip.
- Sign up for trips that will challenge you, but are not beyond your abilities. If unsure, ask the trip organizer and tell them your experience and fitness level. People inexperienced in the mountains should start with easier trips.
- Learn about the trip before you attend (which route, number of kilometers, amount of vertical gain/loss, type of terrain, length of day, etc.).
- Give as much notice as possible to the trip organizer if you are unable to go on the trip. There are often waiting lists of other members who would like to go. If you do not provide enough notice of cancellation for your spot to be filled, your trip deposit will not be refunded.
- Ensure that you have the right equipment and that it is in good repair.
- For winter trips, ensure that you are using a digital avalanche transceiver and that it is in good working order. Single antenna/analog transceivers are not acceptable.
- Bring your helmet on all moderate and difficult scrambles and all climbing trips. Leaders may ask you to bring your helmet on certain ski trips as well.
- Be prepared to contribute to the trip and carry part of the group gear (ropes, etc.).
Personal Insurance
As a broker for TuGo, the ACC offers Emergency Medical Insurance, Trip Cancellation Insurance, Baggage Insurance and more. These policies are available to all Canadians travelling outside their home province within Canada as well as internationally.
If you require medical attention while you’re traveling outside of your home province, or outside of Canada, your provincial health care plan may not cover you. The ACC’s trip insurance covers air ambulance, emergency medical and many other medical expenses. Climbing, skiing and other backcountry accidents are not exempted (as they are with many insurers).
