Rock Climbing – The sport of rock climbing has exploded in popularity over the years with the rise in the number of indoor climbing gyms. From beginner crags and climbing areas to long multi-pitch routes, Canmore and the Canadian Rockies offer some of the best outdoor rock climbing in the world. Whether you are a complete beginner or a highly skilled climber we offer a program for every level and for people of all ages. Rock climbing is a great way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and achieve a sense of accomplishment. Be sure to give rock climbing a try the next time you’re in the Canadian Rockies.

Mountaineering – The media often depicts mountain environments as harsh and unforgiving but when conditions are right, there is no more peaceful or authentic natural environment. Mountain climbing can be both physically and mentally challenging but also immensely rewarding. It is a dichotomous activity where the experiences and connections in the mountains can be profound.

The Canadian Rockies are well suited to alpine skills development and progression from beginner to highly-accomplished alpinist. With a combination of glaciated and rocky terrain, steep and low angle faces, the training areas are limitless. Whether you want to take your first step on a glacier or you have a specific objective in mind, we can help you get the mountain experience you need or want in a supportive and fun environment.

Join us this summer for your next mountain adventure and prepare to have the experience of a lifetime. A trip to the Canadian Rockies can be everything you hope for and much more.
