FAQs: Mountain Climbing in Canada
What should I know about Mountain Climbing Kluane National Park?
Mount Logan stands at 5959 meters and there are a few different routes to the summit, all of which are quite challenging. The King Trench route is the most popular. Extreme weather conditions, icing terrain and high altitude all combine to make this one intense climb. The climb is typically done across a three-week expedition which gives you time to camp at altitude and to acclimatize. This is not a beginner climb and you must be in top physical condition to complete it. Then, when you’re at the top of the mountain you’ll be rewarded by unobstructed views of the surrounding area.
