Located about 250km west of Calgary are The Bugaboos, a stunning alpine mountain range that are protected by the Bugaboos National Park. Set in the Purcell Mountains of eastern British Colombia, the landscape is populated with iconic granite spires that have become some of the most favoured climbing spots in North America.
Climbing in the ‘Bugs’ provides a wonderful array of different options and difficulties. You can find routes characterised as easy scrambles up to multi-day test pieces to really challenge your skills!
Along with the granite spires, this landscape includes beautiful cascading glacier icefalls and dense alpine forests creating a truly breathtaking setting to enjoy your climbing.
I run classes for up to 6 people, so with this low ratio I can create a tight group atmosphere and also closely observe each climber throughout the trip.
I am flexible with my trip’s duration so contact me and we can arrange something to meet your needs, whether for a quick day trip or week long adventure. One thing is for sure, The Bugaboos have enough pristine alpine landscape to keep you entertained for as long as you require!
Don’t hesitate to sign up to this fantastic alpine climbing excursion, I can’t wait to share this wonderful opportunity with you!
If your’re not yet an experienced climber but have the desire to learn then join me on this 1-day introduction to climbing in Squamish, BC and I will ignite your passion.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
