Mountaineering Courses
We have designed mountaineering courses for all levels of experience!
At Mountain Skills Academy & Adventures, taking people into the mountains is how it all started. We are pleased to be one of the go-to guiding companies for Squamish & Whistler Mountaineering. We love to take people into the high mountains on treks they will always remember. Our top guides know the terrain and the best route options.
If you don’t see the ideal Squamish or Whistler mountaineering course listed below, the team at Mountain Skills Academy is happy to put together the ideal course for your time available, skill levels, and goals.
These programs are part of our broader Mountain School in Western Canada, connecting navigation, glacier travel, rescue and alpine climbing into a progressive learning pathway.
Mountain Navigation
In this course, you will learn to recognize changing hazards, navigate with a map and compass, and build a travel and safety plan for diverse alpine terrain regardless of conditions and visibility.
Scambling Skills
Take the next step from hiker to scrambler. Learn to move confidently on steep, off-trail alpine terrain with an ACMG-certified guide — no ropes, no climbing experience required.
Summer Crevasse Rescue Skills
This comprehensive Crevasse Rescue Skills course is the industry gold standard for mountaineers, alpine climbers, mountain hikers and runners.
Intro to Basic Mountaineering
This 2-day Intro to Basic Mountaineering course teaches you to begin exploring the mountains with confidence.
Intro To Alpine Rock
Summit success on alpine rock routes depends on the safe, well applied and timely management of several specific skill sets, very different from typical rock climbing.
Mountain Super Program
Gain a complete mountaineering skill set, from crevasse rescue to movement on snow, ice, and rock. This course combines four days of technical training with two days of challenging objectives.
Private Instruction
If you have a route or objective in mind that you don’t see listed on our site, why not consider taking a privately guided trip to help you achieve your mountaineering goal.
Gift Certificates
Give the gift of choice with certificates available in any amount, applicable toward any of our courses or adventure experiences. A meaningful gift for anyone looking to learn, explore, and venture confidently into the backcountry.
