ICE CLIMBING 2009 UPDATE: The recent cold snap has formed some excellent ice climbs in the Squamish and Whistler area. Get it while its good!

Ice climbing has gone through a population explosion in the last decade.

What was once a daunting fringe activity undertaken only by a few madmen is now a mainstream sport that more and more rock climbers are embracing every winter. With the availability of modern equipment, ice climbing has become a safer and highly enjoyable activity. Join Westcoast Mountain Guides and find out why ice climbing is so fun and addictive.

Private guiding:
At Westcoast Mountain Guides, we offer ice guiding adventures in Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Lillooet and the ice climbing mecca, the Canadian Rockies.

Our most polpular ice guiding trip is a day of climbing on the 'Duffy' followed by an overnight at a comfortable motel in Lillooet. With dry and warm gear, your ready for an early start and a classic multipitch route.
