Climbing Guide - ACMG Guide Certified

Experience the true thrill of the mountains by booking your very own private climbing guide. All our guides are fully certified ACMG professionals and take huge pride in ensuring that your next trip with us is a truly unforgettable adventure! Typically privately guided tours seek out specific objectives, like climbing Mt. Athabasca, and employ lower guest-to-guide ratios. Each trip is special to you so, the objectives do vary from beginner to expert level trips within all of the following mountain disciplines: rock, ice, alpine, mountaineering, via ferrata, scrambling, hiking, and sightseeing.  No matter where you stand, our local and skilled guides will help you achieve your goals!
