Description
Canada is a synonym of beauty and wilderness. Dare to leave behind all the stress of the big cities and modernity, and venture into the wild and pristine land of this beautiful country. Join this mountaineering adventure in the Canadian Rockies, and reach the summit of one of its most impressive peaks, Mount Athabasca.
Mount Athabasca (3,491 m) is one of the most accessible ascents in the Rockies. It is located right next to the Banff-Jasper Parkway. So from that entrance, we can reach the summit in just one long and exciting day.
What’s more, this splending mountain is surrounded by an enchanting forest of pine trees. Thus, creating a green wave of fresh scents and bright colors, in which this colossal peak stands out for its singular beauty.
Also, Mount Athabasca lies at the heart of the Columbia Icefields, a vast territory of glacier ice and dazzling sceneries. Therefore, it offers the perfect combination of snow and ice climbing.
Moreover, some of the most stunning glaciers in the country are in the area, such as Athabasca and Saskatchewan. Hence, making it a real treat for the eye and the senses, that you cannot miss.
If you are up for this mountaineering adventure, just request to book this trip. One of our expert and certified guides will guide you to the summit of Mount Athabasca. And share with you the best spots in this marvellous place.
But, if you’re looking for a different type of adventure also in the area, you can check this Bugaboo Spire rock climbing (NE Ridge), 3 days.

Ben guided us to Marble Canyon and it was a really awesome and rewarding experience! Ben was really cool and relaxed about everything, the whole process was made extremely simple, and he went so far as to teach us a little more than we had originally expected to learn. We got extremely lucky with the weather and hiked back with blue skies and the sun shining! Thank you very much!!

Great day of touring in the amazing surroundings around Lake Louise - the vue and silky powder snow were worth the effort of climbing!

I had such a great experience skiing backcountry for the first time! Jeff was an amazing guide and really helped us learn how to use backcountry equipment and avalanche gear. My only concern was that we were forced to change the date of our trip quite last minute and we were not given much information about the trip until only 1-2 days in advance. However, the trip itself was incredible! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Absolutely exceeded expectations! Everyone had a great time with more than enough variety to satisfy everyone’s skill level. Would definitely recommend to anyone with an interest in getting started or progressing their ice climbing.

My guide was Christian from the same company (vs Jeff). I was thrilled with the service, friendliness, knowledge, and professionalism. We went to Sunshine Slab near Banff to sport climb for a half day. We managed to get a lot of memorable climbs in a short amount of time. I would gladly use these guys again.

Jeff was so kind to the kids, he encouraged and motivated our 12 y/o eldest, and was tolerant and patient with our 9 y/o young one. Extremely recommended for families. We had much fun on the Banff cliffs.
