VIBE organizes guided climbs, skills courses, and equipment rental packages across Vancouver Island with a focus on multi-pitch granite routes, alpine objectives, bouldering, and trad climbing instruction.
Trip offerings include single-day and multi-day guided climbs such as guided climbs on Triple Peak, the two-day 22-pitch “Thunderbird” route on Mt.
