Once registered for a clinic, you will receive an email confirming your spot. Further details surrounding your clinic, meeting spot, and ticket requirements will be sent to you a few weeks before the Academy.

Clinic registration will go live on May 9th, 2024 at 12:00PM PST.

The Arc'teryx Climb Academy is taking place from August 23th - 25th, 2024 in Squamish, BC, Canada.

Each clinic has a detailed equipment list that will be emailed out 2 weeks before your clinic. Please bring everything on the list. Depending on weather and conditions, you might not have to use everything, but it's better to come prepared!

Please make sure you arrive at least 30 min before your clinic starts so you leave enough time for parking, clinic check-in and to find your group. Ahead of your clinic day you will receive an email stating your check-in time.

Plan your journey, check the road conditions, and know where you need to be for check-in on site. For all clinics, please respect the clinic check-in time in the morning and come prepared with all your equipment (and lunch).

Clinic check-in times are 7:30AM and 8:00AM depending on the clinic you are signed up for, but please take the time to confirm this the evening before your clinic. Check in time will be confirmed with you directly via email two weeks ahead of the event. All clinics should be completed by 4:00 PM. *please note, this depends on your group and some may end earlier or later.

We do not organize food and drinks for the clinics, so please make sure you bring whatever you need along for the day to ensure you're properly fueled. Please show up to clinic check-in having had breakfast and with your lunch packed so you don't hold up your group.

Although the Arc'teryx Climb Academy team loves all animals, please leave your furry (or feathered) friends at home.

Yes, we will not be offering rides or transportation to your trailhead so please ensure you have your own means of transportation. Clinic participants will be required to drive from the morning check-in point to the trailhead where your clinic is taking place.

Bad weather and rain is all part of the fun, sometimes. Please come prepared for all types of weather with appropriate rain gear and layers. If the weather is very bad and clinics are unable to safely run, alternate arrangements will be made.

Yes, please bring your own basic climbing and running equipment (helmets, harness, climbing and running shoes) to clinics. All ropes and advanced climbing gear will be provided by Canada West Mountain School. Please ensure your personal gear is properly labelled so it is easily identifiable at the end of the day. We do not take responsibility for lost equipment that is left behind.

A full gear list will be sent to you 2 weeks leading up to the event. If you require a gear rental, please ensure you coordinate this in advance of your clinic taking place.

No, all programming taking place at Pavilion Park is free of charge and open to anyone in the community.

We will have a limited number of chairs onsite, so please feel free to bring camping chairs, blankets or whatever you need to be most comfortable for the evening programming.

Parking near Pavilion Park is very limited so we would recommend walking or biking. OurSquamish will be onsite doing bike valet by donation so you will have a secure place to store your bike onsite.

Some running clinics will not take the full day to complete. This depends on the objective of your clinic and the speed of your group.

There might be! If you're needing to rent any equipment for your clinic you will need to account for those costs. If your clinic is utilizing the Sea to Sky Gondola, there might be a ticket charge of $65 associated with that. This ticket can be purchased onsite at clinic check in should the decision be made to use the gondola for your clinic.
