Ice Climbing around Golden BC

The Golden area is well known for its ice climbing potential – and for good reasons. Areas such as Kicking Horse Canyon, Blaeberry River Valley, Mount Hunter, Glenogle Valley, roadside waterfalls in Yoho National Park, and the Valenciennes create an ice climbing Mecca unlike anything else in the world. These and many other ice climbing areas have definitely put Golden on the map of world-class winter ice climbing destinations. For more information refer to the guide Waterfall Ice Climbs in the Canadian Rockies by J. Josephson.
