Winter Glacier Training

We spent a couple days with Rockaboo doing a custom winter glacier course. Our guide did a awesome job catering the course to the groups skills. His teaching was easy to follow and lots of fun. We all really enjoyed the course and our stay at the Rockaboo Inn.

Ice Climbing

We had Benjamin as our guide who was absolutely fantastic. He showed us the ropes (literally) and let us go at our own pace while shouting encouragement and tips up to us during our climbs. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely do it again!

Rockaboo AST 2

We had a great time taking our AST 2 at the Rockaboo Lodge this week. The course was well organized, with exciting and fun destinations planned for each day. The guides were knowledgeable, helpful and highly skilled. We can’t think of anything that could have made the trip better - it was perfect!

Private Athabasca Glacier Trip

My husband and I went on a private ski touring trip to Athabasca Glacier with Rockaboo during our stay in Jasper. Our guide (Matt Stelmaschuk) was awesome, he went above and beyond to make sure we had fun and safe trip. Thanks Matt for making this a wonderful and memorable trip. An experience that will stay with us for a long time.

Great Backcountry Adventure

Two terrific days ski touring off the Icefields Parkway with Jen Olson. She kept us safe while still accessing some great terrain under very touchy avalanche conditions. Would love to tour with Jen again. Rockaboo was easy to deal with and they delivered exactly what was promised.

10/10 Ice Climbing Experience

One of the best activities I've ever done! Our Rockaboo guide Max was so professional, experienced and went above and beyond to ensure we were getting the most out of the day. We had so much fun and would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in Jasper!

Top Notch Climbing

The crew at Rockaboo is great. I stopped in just looking for information, but they invited me to join their tour that was leaving in a few minutes. It was an amazing experience to actually rock climb! I really appreciate that the guides took us to harder parts of the wall as we gained experience instead of just staying in one spot. Frank and Derek were great: very good at explaining things, great at giving tips along the way and very encouraging. I have no prior climbing experience, but throughly enjoyed the experience.

Brilliant

An absolutely brilliant day. Not easy, but felt it was pitched perfectly to be just enough of a challenge and just enough of an adventure. It was a full day led by great staff who I couldn't speak highly enough of. The time spent on the glacier seemed flexible but felt like were on for ages. I learned a lot about the area and the way the ice sheet and glaciers work. We watched other groups being marched on and off quickly while we went adventuring as far as we could go, which was virtually at the ice falls. It really felt like I'd had a day out with my mates. Thanks again for what was probably the highlight of my five week Canadian adventure.
