The ACC is returning to the spectacular Selkirk Range of British Columbia. The routes available vary from rock to mixed rock and snow and glacier-snow climbs, as well as ridge traverses. Top-quality climbing is ensured, as the Adamants and Gothics groups are granite while Mount Sir Sandford is mostly fractured marble. Other objectives include the north ridge of Mount Silvertip, the southwest ridge of Blackfriars and the southern slopes of Azimuth. Expansive glaciated terrain will be traveled throughout a week of spectacular climbing and vistas.
All climbs are easily accessible from the hut.
Many other destinations reward the hiker with great views. This trip is tried and true as a wonderful Alpine Club introduction to mountaineering. Your journey begins at the historic Fay hut, which was built by the ACC in 1927. After an incredible journey through the Valley of the Ten Peaks, you will drop down to the Canadian Alpine Centre at Lake Louise for a hot shower and a fabulous meal at the Bill Peyto Caf . This stopover complete, you will continue your traverse, staying at the Elizabeth Parker and Abbot Pass huts.
