Itinerary

We kick off our ice climbing adventure in Canada by focusing on advanced climbing movements to boost your climbing grade and confidence.

This is your chance to refine your technique in one of the best ice climbing destinations in Canada. The meeting point will be at 8 AM at the guide's office.
On the second day, we continue honing the skills introduced on Day 1. This includes further development of your climbing technique and confidence on the ice. By practicing in real conditions, you’ll get more comfortable with the essential skills needed for ice climbing in Canada.
The final day is all about applying your newfound skills on a classic multi-pitch climb in the stunning Bow Valley, known for some of the best ice climbing in Canada.

This day rounds off your ice climbing experience with practical, real-world application. The activity will end in the late afternoon depending on the weather conditions.
