Rockaboo Mountain Adventures is a Jasper, Alberta-based mountain guiding company that runs guided glacier hikes, ice climbing, and rock climbing experiences in Jasper National Park. The company offers a range of programs from half-day glacier hikes on the Athabasca Glacier to full-day and private ice climbing routes on multi-pitch frozen waterfalls.
Trips include the Tread Lightly Glacier Hike (half-day), Experience Ice Climbing (6 hours), Jasper Rock Climbing (4 hours), Private Glacier Hike (half-day), Private Ice Climbing (full day), and the Jasper Rock Climbing Experience (4 hours on Morro Slabs).
Guides provide instruction, route-finding, and safety equipment; most programs include all necessary gear and transportation as specified for each trip. Glacier hikes include time on glacial ice and navigation of crevasses with a guide. Ice climbing trips visit sites such as Maligne Canyon and Tangle Falls and are led by certified guides who provide technical instruction. Rock climbing sessions take place on limestone walls near the Athabasca River, with hands-on coaching, rappelling, and age-appropriate options for families.
Rockaboo accommodates a range of fitness and experience levels, offering private trips tailored to group pace and interests. Seasonal availability varies by activity; for example, the Jasper Rock Climbing Experience runs daily from June 5 to September 15. All descriptions and schedules are subject to park regulations and weather conditions in the Canadian Rockies.
All necessary personal protective equipment — helmets, crampons, harnesses and ice tools — is provided when required, and guides review safety protocols, route conditions, and environmental stewardship before each departure.
