Canadian Icefalls
Climb in the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada and you’re
in for a feast. This is the Mecca for modern day Mixed & Icefall
climbing.
33,000sq kilometres of National Park wilderness complete with
Moose, Grizzly Bears, Cougars and of course, acres of beautiful
Ice.
This year ISM is offering 3 weeks of icefall climbing in
the Canadian Rockies. Two weeks of both Classic & Technical
Canadian Ice, with the middle weeks overlapping.
So if you’re new to the frozen world of icefall climbing,
you can enjoy learning the skills needed to climb some of the
great Classic’s of the Canadian Rockies on your first
Classic Canadian Ice week. Classic routes such as Lake Louise
Falls and Professor Falls are all achievable in your first
week’s ice climbing. Stay for a second Canadian Classic
week and you’ll complete your haul of great classics
climbing routes such as Weeping wall, Murchison Falls and Guinness
Gully.
Alternatively if you’ve already got some winter climbing
experience, and in the second week want to move onto more technical
ice, then this is the place - there is no better place in the
world for Ice.
On our Technical Canadian Ice weeks and you’ll get the
chance to climb some of the most famous icefalls in the world,
routes like Polar Circus, Weeping Wall, The Sorcerer, Carlsberg
Column, Hydrophobia, Super Bok. The list is endless and as
they say in Canada “when the rest of the world is desperate
for ice, Canada has it all, miles of beautiful chrome ice”.
Enjoy just one week of Canadian Ice and get a taste for what
the Rockies has to offer or link 2 weeks together and get an
ice climbing holiday of a lifetime!
A weekend break in the middle of a 2-week block will give you
the chance to relax and enjoy what’s on offer locally.
Banff, Lake Louise and the surrounding area, has so much to
offer from Dog Sledding, soaking in Natural Hot springs, Skiing
at any of the 3 local Ski resorts or just relaxing, recharging
those batteries and watching the world go by.
