A truly classic peak in the central Coast Mountains of British Columbia, at 4,019 meters Mt. Waddington offers a majestic setting for a week of mountaineering. We will be leading two separate Expeditions to Mt. Waddington this summer with our ACMG certified Alpine Guides.

Surrounded by towering peaks and expansive glaciers, this region offers a wide variety of climbing objectives from general mountaineering to technical rock and steep snow ascents. A climb of the NW summit of BC's highest peak, Mt. Waddington, will be the highlight of this expedition. Your week of climbing will be spent out of a fly-in base camp established on the Franklin Glacier at 2,200 meters(7,150'). The actual climb of the summit entails establishing a high camp at over 3,000 meters (10,000'). From this base we will embark on a long and exposed ridge traverse towards the Waddington massif and on up to the NW summit.

Group Size: This climb is restricted to two small groups of three with 1 guide each.

Meeting Point: Williams Lake, British Columbia
