Alpine Rock Climbing

Alpine Rock will have your students rock climbing technical, granite spires with professional ACMG Guides in an incredibly beautiful alpine setting. Allow us to guide your group for an ultimate peak experience!

This quintessential program is one of the highest, lifetime achievements a student will ever complete. Students rock climb and traverse awesome 8,600' granite spires in the warm, dry, BC interiors' Cathedral Lakes Provincial Park. Rest assured, knowing your group is in the capable hands of our experienced, professional Association of Canadian Mountain Guide staff. Once trip preparations are complete, Alpine Rock begins by hiking into our alpine meadows base camp. Strategically located, base camp provides short approaches and descents from your climbs each day. We have an excellent selection of multi-pitch routes that we guide at 4:1 ratios to include the N Ridge of the Deacon, the NW Ridge of Mt. Grimface and the SE Chimneys of Mt. Grimface. Using smaller 3:1 group ratios, the ultra-classic McCabre - Grimface Traverses' sawtooth ridge can be climbed to include two stunning tyrolean traverses that will have students suspended 2,000′ above the valley floor! Sunshine, granite spires, unspoiled scenery, no crowds - incredible!
