Island Alpine Climbing

Island Alpine Climbing is a detailed guidebook to the scrambling and technical rock and ice climbs on 50 of the most challenging mountains on Vancouver Island, including Strathcona Park. Over 475 routes in total!

In rich, full colour the spectacular Island Alps are clearly illustrated, along with history and sound advice for planning and travelling in the rugged Island backcountry.

Island Alpine Climbing is designed to replace Island Alpine Select as the go-to alpine climbing guidebook for Vancouver Island. The focus has been narrowed from its predecessor to only include the technical climbs and scrambles on the more challenging and popular Island peaks. IAC will work especially well alongside Exploring Strathcona Park which has additional information for approaches and trip options for the peaks within Strathcona Provincial Park.
