Multi-Pitch Rock Climbing Program in Canmore
My partner and I had an incredibly memorable day climbing with Brent! His expertise is unparalleled and he tailored our trip based on our abilities. Most importantly, he made sure we were safe and enjoying our climb throughout the day. I look forward to climbing with Brent again and would highly recommend him as a guide for anyone exploring the area!

Bow Valley Rock Climbing Day in Banff National Park
The traveller did not leave a comment.
Boasting glacier-capped mountains, thick evergreen forest and plenty of lakes and rivers to boot, Banff National Park is blessed with incredible natural beauty. Heading out to climb some of the high-quality cliffs and spires in the park is a great way to experience as much of the natural beauty as possible. From the approach to the summit, incredible views out over the Rockies and the alpine landscapes of the park are waiting everywhere.

Situated in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, in the westernmost reaches of Alberta, Banff National Park is the ideal rock climbing destination. Boasting plenty of incredible spots for rock climbers of every level and persuasion, there is something for everyone here. Aside from the aforementioned rock climbing hotspots, the Brewer Buttress of Castle Mountain is another incredibly popular option. For those looking for something a bit longer, then heading up the northwest ridge of Sir Donald makes for a great three-day challenge. Heading a bit outside of Banff National Park, Canmore and Ghost Valley both have plenty of climbing options to keep even the fastest most avid rock climbers occupied for a week
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
