Escape the crowds and venture out to the far side of EEOR (east end of Rundle). This cliff is full of many classic Rockies style rock routes and the North Ridge is no different.

This adventurous rock climb is a ton of fun but you have to move quickly to cover all 17 pitches in a reasonable time. There are some scrambling and easy 5th class sections, lots of 5.5 to 5.7 pitches, two really fun 5.9 pitches, and even a steep bolt ladder pitch! The views are great…
This route is a fun moderate multi-pitch rock climb on the East facing cliff of Mt. Cascade known as, Bankhead buttress. The views from the route toward Lake Minnewanka and down the Bow Valley are superb, and the story of this cliff’s name is full of local coal mining history.
Just in case you didn’t know, the Rockies used to be a shallow tropical sea. This was roughly 200 million years ago but the remnants of this era are still around today. A great example of this era is, Escargot Corner which, is considered one of the best climbs of its grade in BNP. The…

What’s great about this route is that due to its high rock quality and climber popularity, the risk of loose rock is relatively less than many other routes in the area. Enjoy fairly consistent 5.9…
