Jasper Climbing
Jasper offers a little bit of everything when it comes to climbing. Superb alpine routes, world famous ice climbs and some quality cragging.
Here’s just a LITTLE taste of some Jasper crags!!
Rock Garden
A rock garden of history for locals. Home to some classic mind boggling limestone routes.
Close to town with a good variety of grades. Popular early in the season and a nice reprieve from any hot sun that does occasionally get encountered here in Jasper.
Boulder Gardens
Short and sweet sport routes, with easily accessible top rope anchors.
The perfect spot for early season climbing. Just yonder from the Rock Gardens.
Lost Boys
The perfect pumpfest. Big jugs, big roofs and bomber quartzite.
Good mix of sport and trad. What else can you ask for on a summers day.
Watchtower
Beautiful, quality, upper end routes towering over the gushing Watchtower creek.
A relatively new crag, laden with sustained sport climbs.
Morrow Slab
The slabs sit alongside the Athabasca River and has been home to the guided groups. Set back in the bluffs is a smaller crag that offers extremely well bolted routes, with easier grades.
Tucked beside the Astoria River lies the wicked little boulder.
Scattered with problems and near perfect landings, it is an ideal place to hang for a while
Juno Wall
High above the east highway lies Juno Wall. It boasts the longest season with an abundance of quality sport routes in the 5.10 and 11 range.
Tonquin Boulder
Tucked beside the Astoria River lies the wicked little boulder.
Scattered with problems and near perfect landings, it is an ideal place to hang for a while
