Incredible Ice Climbing Adventure with an Amazing Guide! - We booked the Experience Ice Climbing tour with Rockaboo Mountain Adventures during our trip to Jasper, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our winter vacation! This six-hour adventure takes you out to climb a frozen waterfall in spectacular surroundings — a truly unique way to experience the Canadian Rockies.  From the moment we met our guide, Ethan, the day was awesome. Ethan was knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient — making sure everyone in our group felt confident and safe, regardless of previous experience. His coaching on technique and safety really helped us ease into the climb and get the most out of the experience. The gear was all provided (crampons, helmet, harness, ice axes, etc.), and it was great not having to worry about equipment logistics. We learned how to use everything properly before heading onto the ice, and Ethan made the whole learning process fun and engaging. The location was breathtaking, with towering ice formations that you don’t get to see as a regular visitor to Jasper, and climbing them was exhilarating! Whether you’re a total beginner or just looking for a fun, active winter adventure, this tour delivers. We’ll definitely be recommending it to friends and would do it again ourselves! Highly recommend — especially if you get Ethan as your guide. He made the trip unforgettable! ❄️

Amazing guide for an all-experience-levels-adventure - Max our guide was so patient and encouraging for the whole day. Extremely knowledgeable and made the experience incredible. He had a lot of fun with us which made the cold weather more than bearable. The location was perfect for all levels of experience and there was a scenic hike to get to the waterfall. 10/10 experience and it’s made me want to do it again later on (which I never thought I’d say). Can’t recommend this more.

In depth background in ice and alpine climbing - 8 of us were guided by Rockaboo for a couple days of private ice climbing. I've been out in the area and used Rockaboo in past years, and the quality and performance of the staff is the same as it always has been, which is to say EXCELLENT. To all that might read this little short review, rest assured, when you engage with Rockaboo, you are operating with the best. Marvin Egner

Amazing time ice climbing for the first time - I did the ice climbing wall experience and had such a great time! My instructor was super knowledgeable and encouraging. I wish I had longer in Jasper so that I could have done a full day experience!! Would highly recommend this if you’re looking to try something new… the wall is very impressively built and really mimics a real glacier!

This was an amazing... - This was an amazing experience. Maarten was an excellent guide and instructor, he was patient and encouraging with me. I ended up being the only one on this tour which was definitely intimidating initially but that very quickly dissipated with Maarten's friendly disposition. Highly recommend this to anyone heading to Jasper.

Amazing Ice Climbing Adventure for the Whole Family in downtown Jasper! - We recently tried Rockaboo Adventures’ brand new ice climbing experience in downtown Jasper, and it was absolutely incredible! My two kids, ages 8 and 10, participated, and they had the time of their lives. It’s such a fun and accessible activity, right in the heart of Jasper, making it perfect for families or anyone new to ice climbing. We were thrilled to get to try this right downtown! Luis, their guide and instructor, is simply phenomenal. His passion for what he does shines through, and his ability to teach and encourage kids (and adults!) is unmatched. He created such a supportive and exciting environment that my kids couldn’t stop talking about it afterward. We’re beyond impressed with this unique experience and thrilled to see something so innovative available in Jasper. If you’re visiting in 2025, don’t miss out—this is a must-try for adventurers of all ages!

Always a good adventure with Rockaboo - As an experienced ice climber who doesn't get out that often these day, I've done this climbing group tour with RMA before to keep up my skills, run laps on top-rope, and just have fun with others, and it's always a professionally guided experience. They provide all the gear (but you can use your own if you have it), transportation, and their ACMG certified guides set everything up and perform all the necessary safety checks. On this outing, I turned out to be the only participant, and while it would have been completely fair of them to cancel the tour, it went ahead anyway, so I had a private climbing guide for the group cost for the day, which was great. The guide was very knowledgeable about ice conditions at the various climbing locations, and we opted for the best available spot given the deteriorating spring ice climbing conditions. The guide provided belays all day, safety checks, tips to improve my climbing techniques, good conversation, and managed to take several photos of me climbing along the way. All in all, the usual great experience with Rockaboo.
