We get stuck straight into climbing some of the classic icefalls in and around Banff, and then take the week from there in terms of venue choices and taking into account the local conditions and weather. The aim is to enjoy the huge wilderness which makes up the Canadian Rocky Mountains by climbing icefalls in Kananaskis Country, and the Banff, Kootenay and Jasper National Parks. We split venues through the week so that you get a flavour of both the Canadian culture, wildlife and incredible mountain scenery that stretches along the continental divide from Lake Louise and north to Jasper. This first week can be a stand alone week if you only have a week free, but would naturally lead into a second week where you will progress onto more technical icefalls and enjoy more of what the Rockies has to offer.
