More Info
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.
