This is a great route to stretch your legs on during the approach and get your forearm pump on during the steep ice pitches!

This is a fun, low commitment sport multi-pitch climb with great views of the Bow Valley and gets LOTS of sun!
This is a great route for chill days at a moderate grade. The drive is beautiful, as is the hike into this fun climb!
Finishing Hammer Gully is a very fun, moderately grades multi-pitch ice climb. The surrounding views are amazing with Mt. Chephren and Mt. Howse in the background.
Officially known as Unnamed in the local guidebook, this great route on the west end of Yamnuska’s south face is better known by locals as the Pumpkin Route, for the very large pumpkin that is painted on the wall at the top of the last pitch.
Joy is a very fun and unique climb that follows an incredibly striking right facing dihedral up the Mt. Indefatigable slab for nearly 2000 feet or 606 metres of climbing! Don’t expect any bolts though, as Joy is a pure trad climb that is bolt-free, which is a very special thing around here. The climbing…

Using the Troll Falls approach the round trip stats are approx. 12.5km with 1150m of elevation gain/loss. A mountain…

This historical 9-pitch climb was the first technical line up the steep south face of Yamnuska and is still very popular today. The line follows a right leaning weakness that has an alpine rock feel and finishes with a fun, airy chimney and the memorable worm-hole.
This is a classic, 10-pitch rock route up the south face of Yamnuska that is also one of our favourite climbs. Expect a solid day of limestone rock climbing with exposed sections and a bunch of traverse pitches as we navigate our way up. FC is a memorable old school route with lots of flavour.
