Alpine
Climbing
The Rockies offer everything from moderate alpine scrambles and snow routes to technical north faces and multi-day traverses. Objectives are chosen not just for difficulty, but for conditions, timing, and the experience level of the party. A successful alpine climb is less about speed or difficulty and more about judgment, pacing, and adapting to the mountain as it is on the day.
In addition to the sample itineraries below, we design and guide custom alpine climbing trips across Western and Northern Canada. From the 11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies to technical alpine objectives in Alberta and British Columbia, remote expeditions on Baffin Island, and big mountain goals in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. We help turn ambitious ideas into well-executed climbs. If you can picture the objective, chances are we have been there.
