Guided Ice Climbing in the Rockies
The Canadian Rockies offers world-class ice climbing. Due to ideal conditions, a long season is possible beginning in November and lasting into April. There are many classic ice routes to choose from with single-pitch climbs to multi-pitch, 500-meter ice routes. There are many choices for all levels of ability and experience.
Most of the ice is easily accessible from Canmore and Banff. Travel time as little as 5 minutes or at most 2 hours takes you to vertical waterfall ice that is certain to thrill and awe you with its beauty and challenge.
Below you will see a list of some of my favorite routes to guide.
