Fish Creek is a spectacular place to try your skills at ice climbing. Great for beginners or those interested in trying ice climbing. All climbing equipment and instruction is provided by knowledgeable guides.Only five minutes from downtown and a short hike to the base of the falls, RMV guides provide instruction on ice axe and crampon (spiked boots) technique and set-up a climbing top-rope on a pre-set anchor (just like in climbing gyms, only on ice). Climbers can climb as high as they want and be lowered whenever they please. RMV guides promote a positive learning experience on a 200 foot waterfall in the beautiful Fish Creek canyon. If you're lucky, you might even get to see the water flowing behind the ice…
