One of the main goals is having fun! Whether we are striving for the mountain summit, or on a chill soft-core outing, we always want to have fun! At Ridgeline, we love sharing out mountain stoke with our guests where together we can create these amazing experiences and memories that last forever!
Why Ridgeline Guiding
What should you be considering when looking into ice and rock climbing companies? You should be focused on a few key things:
Fun Factor!
Experience
The Canadian Rockies are beautiful, but every mountain sport comes with inherent risks. That’s why it’s important to hire an Association of Canadian Mountain Guides rock or ice climbing company. Don’t be a statistic and make sure you’re hiring professionals!
Learning
Whether you want to just experience one trip, or you’re training to tackle some big walls in Patagonia, there are always tips, tricks, and techniques to learn. The best part about climbing is many of the skills translate into real-world experience like staying calm under pressure, spatial awareness, and being properly prepaired.

Combining Patrick’s mountain experience with his thousands of hours as an industrial rope access tech/supervisor, as well as, being a SAR Rope Rescue Leader, guests can be assured that they are in good hands.
