Terms of Use


You are Responsible for Your Own Safety

Climbing is dangerous. So is mountaineering, backcountry skiing, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, driving on unpaved roads and other outdoor activities. Participating in any of these activities involves the very real possibility of injury and death. Only you can make the decision to go or not go. Alpenglow.ca, its users and its owner are not responsible for your safety. Information provided by Alpenglow.ca and its users is not and can not be a substitute for your own experience and judgement. If you or the people you are travelling with do not have the capacity to be solely responsible for your own actions and decisions, then for your own safety and the safety of others, you and every member of your group needs to obtain the necessary training to do so, or hire a qualified professional guide to lead your trip.

In no event shall Alpenglow.ca be held liable for special, direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind or nature due to any cause arising from the use of this site.

Errors and Omissions

Alpenglow.ca allows users to share information with each other via bulletins, trip reports, forum postings, and adding or editing information on this website. It is vital to remember that posts on this website are not evaluated or edited for accuracy. They are subjective reports from a single individual's perspective of conditions that existed at some prior date.
