Ox Roast weekend

September 7, 2019 - September 8, 2019

Ox Roast
Custodian: Alex Perel
Saturday, Sept. 7 – Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019

Ox Roast is the Toronto Section’s big social event of the year. It’s when everyone, young and old, gets together and catches up and just plain has fun. It has grown to become very popular in recent years.

Meat, Yorkshire puddings and gravy will be provided at $10 per person (subject to revision); but the rest of the meal is pot luck — each person who signs up should bring a side dish to feed 10. Please coordinate with Bryan Thompson at patrowski@hotmail.com whether to bring a salad, appetizer or vegetable dish. 

There’s a maximum of 30 participants.

CUSTODIAN: Contact Alex Perel (aperelacc@gmail.com) by Thursday evening to let him know when you are arriving.

Otherwise it will be climbing as usual. Because the cliff lies within a provincial park, there are rules that must be observed (mandatory helmets is one). Make yourself familiar with them at the section website: alpineclubtoronto.ca/bonecho/

The ACC hut is on the far side of the lake, and most climbers get there by the club boat. Usual pickup times at the public dock on North Mazinaw Heights Rd. are 10:30 p.m. Friday and 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Other times must be arranged ahead of time with the custodian. 

HUT FEES: Members: $20 per day/night. Non-members: $40 per day/night. Fees include boat transport to the dock and cliff.

WHAT TO EXPECT: The hut is for cooking and eating only, with dinnerware and cooking equipment provided. Climbers sleep in their own tents. There is a limited number of campsites.

Please pack out your garbage. The last boat trip to the dock is at 5 p.m. Sunday (unless the custodian advises otherwise). Please respect the custodian’s right to go home at a reasonable hour.

TRIP CLASSIFICATION: B/C

WAIVER: You must read it before attending and sign a colour copy of it in ink upon arrival: https://alpineclubtoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/ACCWaiver.pdf
