Small Groups | Hike | Scramble | Climb | Skill Development | Mtn Guiding

During my 25 plus years of managing the General Mountaineering
Camp for the Alpine Club of Canada I was frequently complimented
on my ability to handle all logistics that go along with running
a camp of over 45 people in a remote, mountain setting. My trips are marked by reliability and individualized showcasing the excellent service that the GMC was known for. Trips will be organized in a smaller format with personal service, in a more intimate setting. Smaller numbers will allow us to explore more remote objectives and
personalize services in all facets of the camp (including guiding,
catering and general operations). Participants will even be given the
option to have private accommodation at no extra charge. So, come explore the Columbia Mountains in a fresh, new format,
backed by traditional experience and incomparable mountain sense. All guides are ACMG certified and staff are folks who have proven
their skills to me over many years. Contact Brad for details: [email protected] | 250-819-9774 | www.colwest.ca.

🌲 The future of B.C.’s outdoors belongs in the election conversation.

Before you vote, ask local and provincial candidates how they’ll support trails, parks, backcountry access and the volunteer groups and tourism businesses that keep outdoor recreation thriving. Consider how their land-use and funding priorities will affect the places you love, community health and local jobs.

🗳️ Local elections: Saturday, October 17
🗳️ Provincial election: Saturday, October 24

Local advance voting has begun. Check your municipality or regional district for dates and locations. Provincial advance voting runs October 16–21.

Know your candidates. Make a plan. Vote.

Our fall weather has been tough to beat. Cooler, basically smoke-free and incredible views. Thanks to Phil, Peter and crew for showing us Eagle Pass Mtn. Well worth the trip.
