5.00Incredible time with guides Dustin and Janet. They were so patient and helpful with our 9 year olds and tailored climbs to the group’s level and experience. By the end, my 13 year old attempted a level 10a climb. Fantastic experience in beautiful surroundings. Dustin and Janet were attentive, emphasized safety and climbing techniques, and ensured we reached our personal goals.
An experience worth recommending

5.0011/10 experience! Our very knowledgeable and amazing guide, Jacob, made the day approachable and fun for my sister, who is totally new to climbing, and for me, an experience indoor climber but with no outdoor experience! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for another day to get outside in beautiful Banff.
Excellent!

5.00This experience was one for the books. Dustin was an excellent mentor and his experience and knowledge of climbing and the location was second to none. The best part is this experience is for anyone! If you've climbed before or not, you're going to learn the ropes (no pun intended) and have the most fun outdoors. (:
