Marco has been ice climbing for almost 20 years in and around the Canadian Rockies where he was born and raised. He realized that it is a perfect activity in the early season as there is so much ice formed and the temperatures are ideal to get out and get some exercise and excitement leading up to the ski season. Now he is “hooked” and guides ice right through until the end of March. Marco has clients ranging in age from early 20’s to early 70’s, making it a great winter activity for all ages and abilities.
Marco says,
“I am always looking forward to taking guests into the frozen world, whether it is a rambling grade 2 or vertical grade 5. It is very rewarding and satisfying to show people what our Canadian winters have to offer.’
Testimonials: I had the opportunity to spend a few days with Marco climbing in the Rockies this summer. As a guide Marco leads quickly and safely over interesting terrain in the mountains, including classic routes like the east ridge of Mt. Temple. Not only is Marco very competent technically but he is also a pleasure to spend time with. Marco, thanks for a great trip and let's get out to the mountains again. Mike R. Calgary, Alberta Marco is an exceptionally safe mountain guide with a very friendly and sociable personality. When climbing with Marco, I have been very impressed with his meticulous attention to safety and minimizing risk in the mountains. Because of his personality, I have enjoyed some outstanding fun-filled mountain experiences. I have no hesitation in recommending Marco as a mountain guide. Dr. Nigel R. Watts P.Geol, Calgary, AB I was fortunate to be able to ice climb with Marco in February 2004 whilst I was staying in Canmore. He guided me up two excellent routes. Moonlight in Kananaskis and Heineken Hall, Mt Dennis. At all times he was careful, considerate and checked that I was able to cope with the climb. I felt very secure with him and was free to concentrate on the climb without worrying about my safety. Furthermore, he was good company. Marjorie Allen, West Yorkshire, UK
