Bigger, better, more - there is simply nowhere that can beat the Canadian Rockies for sheer quality or quantity of ice climbing. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a Mecca to which every ice climber owes themselves a pilgrimage.

These are the storied routes, the hallowed halls of ice climbing. Just the names strike a reverent chord with anyone familiar. Nemesis, The Sorcerer, Polar Circus, The Professor Falls, Wicked Wanda, French Reality, The Weeping Wall – we could go on, but for those who know the names, the desire is already there. For those who don’t, there’s nothing left but to find out. These are the biggest, baddest ice routes around.

That said, the Rockies have so much to offer that there really is something for everyone, especially if you’ve already swung some tools before. The area is massive, and our trips can cover everything from top-rope climbing on ice and modern mixed terrain to ice routes of all sorts, and even alpine outings. Venues include the Ghost River Wilderness (better known only as “The Ghost”), Haffner Creek and Field, BC, Kananaskis Country, Banff, and of course The Icefields Parkway. And even if you’ve never heard a single one of those names, we promise you’ll be impressed.
