Climbing

Rock climbing in the Canadian Rockies ranges from well-traveled limestone crags to long alpine rock routes and remote mountain walls. Between Calgary, Banff, Canmore and Lake Louise there are thousands of rock climbs to be explored. From the sweeping limestone sport climbs, to the traditional climbing of the big alpine walls, the rock is varied in quality, and route-finding and protection skills are often as important as physical ability.

Single-pitch cragging, long multi-pitch climbs, and alpine rock routes are all part of the Rockies experience. Many routes travel through varied terrain and require careful movement, solid route-finding, and an awareness of changing conditions.

Guided rock climbing is well suited to climbers looking to develop movement, anchor systems, and multi-pitch efficiency, or to safely explore classic Rockies routes with local knowledge.

Intro to Rock Climbing

Crag-based rock climbing is the perfect way to experience the Rockies’ famous limestone in a relaxed, hands-on setting. These trips focus on single-pitch routes with easy access, allowing plenty of time to refine movement, build confidence, and enjoy climbing outdoors without the pressure of long approaches or complex logistics.

Multipitch Rock Climbing

Moderate multipitch rock routes are where climbing starts to feel truly alpine. These climbs link multiple pitches of classic terrain, requiring efficient rope systems, communication, and steady movement. Perfect for climbers looking to step beyond single-pitch crags, these objectives emphasize flow and problem-solving rather than difficulty alone. You’ll gain experience managing belays, transitions, and exposure while enjoying long, scenic routes in the Bow Valley. These climbs balance challenge and accessibility, offering a satisfying sense of progression and a true taste of bigger mountain objectives.

Advanced Rock Climbing

Advanced multipitch rock climbing is about commitment, efficiency, and precision. These routes involve sustained climbing, exposure, and long days on the wall. We focus on classic Rockies lines that demand solid technique and good decision-making rather than pure difficulty alone. Expect a strong emphasis on movement, rope management, and keeping things flowing smoothly as terrain stacks up below you. These climbs reward preparation and focus, offering memorable positions, dramatic exposure, and the satisfaction of completing a serious rock objective.
