The Bow Valley, Icefield Parkway and Radium Highway contain many world-class ice and mixed climbs. This guide covers 14 crags with over 200 climbs graded from WI3-M14+.
From the author, ” The Canadian Rockies are home to many world-class ice and mixed climbs, ranging from short, burly cave routes all the way through to thousand-meter alpine faces. And while many climbers still come here to test themselves against classic multipitch test piece routes, an increasing number are choosing to climb at one or more of the many single-pitch crags scattered around the range. These crags provide early-season training, a place to find refuge and get a few laps in during midwinter cold snaps or avalanche cycles, and even to climb on tools throughout the summer.
This guide provides information to 14 different crags, from the classic Haffner Creek, Bear Spirit and Grotto Canyon through to areas never published in a print guidebook such as Mythos Crag or the Temple of Silence. With over 200 routes listed, there are options for every type of climber, ranging from entry-level WI3s and M4s all the way to massive prolonged masterpieces like Will Gadd’s InstaGrade (clocking in at a whopping M14+, the hardest so far in the range).”

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
