CASA was contacted today by Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) requesting that the stored climbing gear and ropes at Acephale be removed ASAP. Typically, these notices are on a 72 hour notice, we have until end of day Monday the 2nd of September 2019 to remove the stored ropes and buckets.
What can you do to help? If you have gear stored at Acephale, take it home. If you can't get there on or before Monday, ask a friend to pick it up for you. If your friend or partner has gear stored there, take it out, and get it back to them. If you know someone who might have gear there, mention the clean up to them.
CASA will remove the gear that is left after Monday, before the final inspection with parks. What is left will be donated to TABAR and/or thrown out. We may be able to make sensible arrangements to pick up of some of the items for a week afterward, but don't take that as a firm commitment.
As you may have guessed, there's some details we need to arrange and settle with AEP, and we're glad to cooperate and coordinate this clean up with them. If you have any questions pm me directly. We'll also give more details as we know them.
It is also to important to note the longer notice period about the clean up, and AEP contacting the community to manage the clean up is a reflection the climbing communities longstanding positive relationship with parks. Our demonstrating stewardship with this issue will continue that positive cooperative relationship.

Description
This is the first wall you hit on the approach at Acéphale. It is shaded and quite nice in the trees. The climbing tends towards slopey edges on good to fantastic rock. I thought I was in a virgin Ceuse on the route Deal With It over towards the left. The rock up high on the routes tends to be sharper.
Don't expect to be alone here as these are some of the harder routes with one of the shorter approaches in the Bow Valley.
