Guides were knowledgeable and hyper vigilant with your safety. Felt comfortable and they coached you through all different skill levels.
Awesome experience. It was a one-and-done for us, and we don’t feel the need to do it again, but would recommend it for anyone in search of adventure.
We (and others) had a hard time finding the office, which is in the bottom floor of an indoor mall. We had to coordinate getting a ride to the climbing site, which wasn’t announced in advance. It worked out, but was a little stressful not knowing how that was going to work out.
The guides got everything set up and helped us get climbing! Good for a beginner experience, even better for people with some climbing experience.
Was a fun afternoon, Nolan was an excellent guide! Worked hard in the extreme cold. I feel like the climb should have been rescheduled with the forecast for extreme cold. It was -24 Celsius, too cold for anyone to really enjoy, so the day was cut short. Overall, would love to do it again with slight warmer weather. Again highly recommend our guide Nolan.
They don’t answer their phone or provide any customer service whatsoever. Better options available, or just go on your own.

Hi Edward, I don't think you have the right business? We have office staff and employ ACMG/IFMGA mountain guides.
We were total beginners to ice climbing when we booked this tour with Shea. He was an excellent teacher, and we felt very safe with him. During the activity we got a say in the location we wanted to try, and hiked about 20mins to our ice wall near Johnston Canyon. We learned belaying and how to tie the knots and then strapped in for our climbs! It was truly exhilarating making it to the top & completing the wall. Such a unique experience that we’ve been talking about for days after. Highly recommend and totally worth the money!
