Alpine Base Camp
Join us on our annual summer mountaineering camp July 2 - 7, 2025!
The 2025 location is the Battle Range in the Selkirk Mountains, south of Glacier National Park. Six days of helicopter accessed mountaineering in a remote location with a comfortable base camp consisting of a kitchen tent, lounge tent, and shower. Climb moderate glacier and rock peaks with ACMG certified guides.

The Camp
Our base camp has a kitchen tent, a drying/lounge tent, and a shower. Climbers bring their own camping gear: tent, sleeping bag, etc. Tent rental is available. Outdoor bucket toilets complete the set-up and ensure the site is clean when we leave.
Food is catered, the guides cook with help from the group. Cold breakfasts help us get out of camp quickly for early morning alpine starts. Dinners are pre-made and only require simple preparation. Everyone pitches in with clean-up.
Access is by helicopter for the group and all the gear.
