Topic: What happens when you drop a group of ACC adventurers into the heart of a Quebec winter? You get a week of frozen waterfalls, thigh-burning descents, and some of the best après culture on the planet. From the technical ice at Montmorency Falls to the dizzying views of the St. Lawrence while carving Le Massif, our adventurers pushed their limits by day and recovered in style by night. Join us on April 7th as we recap a journey of ice tools, luge runs, and legendary cottage lore.

As many were aware, our long-standing Pub Nite location (The Imperial) sadly closed late last year. However, this did not mean the end for our section’s monthly social gathering; we’re pleased to announce a new location and schedule for this season’s Pub Nite Series! Our Pub Nite Series for this season will be on the first Tuesday of every month at C’est What? near St. Lawrence Market.

What to expect:
Our social evening will begin after 7 pm, kicking off the evening at 7:30 pm. At 8 pm, a guest speaker will regale us with stories of adventure followed by more social time. This is a great place to get to know your fellow club members or know more about the club!

We’ll be announcing the next guest speaker soon so stay tuned! If you are interested in speaking, feel free to reach out to our social coordinator at social@alpineclubtoronto.ca. Unsure if your topic is speaking worthy? Don’t worry, we’re always up to hear a great story regardless of the subject! Want to run something but not a talk? No problem!

There are still some spots available for our annual Toronto Section Camp! Our section camp will take place between July 19-26 at Rogers Pass, Glacial National Park launching from the very popular Illecillewaet Hut (A.O. Wheeler Hut) – an fantastic base camp for your mountaineering adventures. The area bears much historic significance and is said to be the birth place of alpinism in North America.

Many iconic and historic adventures await you! On the north side of the highway, the Hermit Range provides many popular objectives on both good rock and ice, Tupper and the peaks of the Rogers massif being foremost among them. The Asulkan Group stretches to the south from the hut, beginning as popular hiking and scrambling terrain, and becoming more serious as it reaches Sapphire Col. Closer to home, Sir Donald’s peaks to the east provide everything from desperate north faces to classic ridge climbs.

To register please sign up using the application form. If you have any questions, you can contact our Mountaineering Coordinator, Matt at mountaineering@alpineclubtoronto.ca
