Tantalus Range Climbing Camp :: Alpine Club of Canada Mountain Activities

Tantalus Range Climbing Camp

     Dates & Price
     August 23 - August 29, 2009
     Cost per person is $1895 + GST

The Tantalus Range offers up a climber’s paradise with dramatic granite peaks rising from expansive glaciers high above the picturesque Lake Lovely Water. Located near Squamish BC, the Tantalus Range is home to a wide variety of scenic peaks that will keep us occupied and entertained for the week.

Our home for this camp will be the Jim Haberl Hut, located at 6800ft in the Serratus-Dione Col, just outside of Tantalus Provincial Park. From this comfortable and cozy base we’ll pursue intermediate and advanced climbing objectives in the area such as Tantalus (2603m/8540’), Dione (2590m/8500’), Serratus (2326m/ 7632’) and Alpha (2305m/7562’). We’ll fly in and out of the Haberl Hut by helicopter from Squamish, leaving our knees rested and our backs strong, allowing us to focus our energy on climbing these magnificent peaks.

This camp offers you the chance to spend a week climbing prime mountaineering objectives in a remote and rugged area of the Coast Mountains.

Level of Difficulty

This camp is designed for those with substantial mountaineering experience, solid rope-handling skills, considerable experience traveling on glaciers, mixed snow and rock, and exposed fifth-class terrain. You must have an excellent level of fitness and be able to carry up to a 10-14kg (22-30lb) pack for several hours.
