Description

The Roger’s Pass in British Columbia, Canada is full of amazing peaks. The tallest of those peaks is the Mount Sir Donald (3,284m). And on this 3 day adventure, we would like to guide you on a fantastic rock climbing expedition that will culminate with getting to this great mountain’s summit.

Shaped liked the famed Matterhorn in the Alps, Mount Sir Donald is an amazing climb. We will take the Northwest ridge to the top of the mountain. And from the top, you will get to gaze out at the Purcell mountains, the Selkirk mountains and the amazing Rockies.

Our adventure will begin at Canmore, a beautiful town in Alberta. From there, we will drive to Mount Sir Donald and set up camp at the mountain’s base. On the following day, we will make our way up to the Uto/Sir Donald Col. From there, we will begin ascending the northwest ridge. While not too difficult, there will be some tough spots on the rocks as we get higher up the mountain. However, once we finally reach the summit, you will get to enjoy the tremendous views. Afterwards, we will descend back to our campsite at the base of the peak. The entire ascent and descent should take approximately 12 hours. Finally, on the last day, we will pack up, perhaps some climbing on the crags and head back to Canmore.

Considered one of the best climbs in Canada, scaling the Mount Sir Donald is a treat for any climber. If you would like to enjoy this great climb, just send us a request.

We can also guide you to the top of Mount Louis, near Banff, via the Kain route, on this trip.

Ended up booking a one-night-and-one-day hike summiting Mt Shasta because Mt Rainier was booked out.

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.
