Mountain Guide
Based in Canmore, Alberta, I am an IFMGA- and ACMG-certified mountain guide. I also serve in the Canadian Armed Forces and am a founding partner of the Outward Bound Veterans Program.
My mission is for you to learn the skills to be competent and independent in the backcountry. I will break down complex skill sets into individual building blocks for you to learn progressively and confidently. After learning the skills, you will get to practice them in the backcountry with my guidance or that of one of the ACMG-certified guides in my team.

What people are saying about Brent
Tim
Brent guided us on an 8 pitch adventure and three single pitch climbs, all of which he'd bolted himself, accommodating our preferences of leading vs top roping. We learnt a lot of new skills as this was our first experience of multi-pitch. None of this was too hard, but he pointed out a couple of areas of much harder climbing. Brent is a great person to contact if you are travelling to Exshaw/Canmore. He's bolted a lot of the routes, is building a via ferrata and has lots of outdoor equipment available to hire.

Jeff was an amazing climbing guide and covered a lot of multi-pitch climbing in a day. I’ve learned everything I needed to do multi-pitch i.e. all the gotchas and safety and now I feel confident doing all of that autonomously. It was just a day but managed to cover all the basics and even do a climb as lead and follower in a very nice crag. Will definitely get their help again when I’m back in Canada with friends. Thanks again!
Joanne
We had an amazing time with Brent and it was the highlight of our trip. It was perfectly suited for us and a great way for us to try multi-pitch climbing. Brent was very knowledgeable and we felt that we were in safe hands the whole time. We would definitely do this again if we were in Canmore again.
Daniel
Jeff was such an amazing guide! Very easy to talk to, learn from, and adventure with. He really made our climbing adventure so great! He was also very experienced and knowledgeable, so our safety (and fun) was never a concern.
Emily
Jeff McKeough from PeakStratagem was our guide for a full day of climbing. He was excellent - very professional, friendly and enthusiastic. Thanks so much Jeff, we had a super fun day out on Chocolate Frog!
