Description

In the wild reaches of the White Goat Wilderness Area stands the rarely visited Mount Cline. It is one of the few 11,000ers to be east of the Continental Divide, and one of the final to be climbed in the area in 1927.

The White Goat Wilderness Area is a designated section of the Canadian Rockies that was established in 1961. Home to rugged mountains, waterfalls, valleys and meadows, the area is also the place where wildlife roam. Moose, deer, bears, coyotes and wolves are just a small number of animals that call the region home.

As we ascend the remote and rugged area we’ll get to view a beautiful alpine lake, as well as mountain views of Wilson and Murchison.

The level of difficulty for this climb is intermediate. Although the climb is not technically difficult, sections of exposed climbing add a slight challenge.

Itinerary

Day 1: Hike to the base

After issuing food and gear we will pack up and drive north along the Icefields Parkway to the David Thompson Highway. We’ll hike for 4-5 hours that will bring us to the base where we will set up camp along the shores of an alpine lake, below the South West Ridge of Mt. Cline and amidst the soaring peaks of the White Goat.

Day 2: Climb to the summit

Today involves moderate scrambling with two short climbing notches to negotiate along a scenic ridge line. The final summit is gained via snow slopes requiring crampons and and an ice axe.

Day 3: Return

Hike out from our base camp to the trail head and return to Canmore.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
