Ascent Fraser Valley Guides and Mountain School

What a great weekend! Getting back into mountaineering. With no Alpine experience, I decided to join Ascent on their fundamentals course on Mt. Conway earlier in the year. What an amazing crew, all of them! I learned so much technically and about myself. It inspired me to take on an Alpine challenge in the Swiss Alps in June. I hope to join Ascent on a future endeavour, Chilliwack and it’s mountains rock, get out there!

Had a great experience in Ascent’s intro to rock climbing course! Phil was a patient, encouraging and articulate instructor.
This course is great for total beginners, as well as for those who have done some climbing but would like to be more independent - I learned SO MUCH, and know that I can confidently take myself out to climb this summer!

Awesome group of people committed to showcasing the best of what the eastern Fraser Valley has to offer.

Great group of guys to head into the mountains with, super knowledgeable and safe. Their guides have years of experience in their fields. There guides aren’t just the jack-of-all types, their masters of the sport. Wether it’s packrafting, paragliding, rock climbing or just hiking Mt. Cheam you will not only experience your adventure but also learn how to do it in a safe, sustainable, tread lightly manner. I would recommend anyone of the guides to anyone who was looking for a true adventure in the Fraser Valley. I always have great time with them. So glad I was able to get one of the cold days ice climbing with them. Looking forward to packraft season and taking my swift water course with them!

Went on a crevasse rescue training trip with ascent as well as completed my AST 1 with them. Guides were personable and knowledgable and helped me build my knowledge for mountain safety.
