4 days of rock climbing on the towers of the Bugaboos, in the Purcell Mountains in British Columbia, with Jeff, local IFMGA mountain guide.
4 Days
Jul, Aug
Very high
Intermediate
Located in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, the Bugaboos are a world-class alpine playground. The 'Best of the Bugaboos' program is a great way to be introduced to the area or to further explore it. The options are limitless. The trip begins with a beautiful hike to the Conrad Kain Hut or Applebee Alpine campsite - our base for the following day's adventures. There are countless routes in the Bugaboos, from high alpine snow & ice climbs, to moderate multi-pitch rock routes, to some of the best long rock climbs in the world.
This trip is a 2:1 ratio, which is ideal for the classic Bugaboo ascents. Some examples include West Ridge of Pigeon Spire 5.4, the Kain route on Bugaboo Spire 5.7, and Surfs Up on Snowpatch Spire 5.9. For intermediate and fit climbers, this is an area that will inspire the mind and soul! Previous climbing skills are necessary. To gain the prerequisite skills, sign up for our 'Alpine Skills Week' or one of our Rock climbing skills courses.
A detailed program package will be emailed 3 days prior to course commencement.
Please get in touch with me if you want more information about this trip. It will be my pleasure to guide you around and enjoy some great rock climbing in these mountains I know well and love.

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.
