Welcome!
I'm James Blench, based in Canmore, Alberta - the heart of the Canadian Rockies and one of the great mountaineering and climbing centers of North America.
Mountaineering, skiing, rock and ice climbing or expedition peaks. Let me design a custom adventure for you. My forte is creating trips that fit your pace, your schedule and your level of activity.
My goal is to provide fun mountaineering & skiing adventures that maintain a sensible balance between risk and keeping the "adventure" in adventure. I view my trade as a collaborative effort between my guests and I. To be safe on a challenging objective I need to get to know you, what your background is and together we can design the experience. I believe that summits are secondary to the journey and a successful trip leaves everyone enriched. Usually that means memorable day, some pleasantly sore muscles and a new story to tell.
Please, have a tour of the site. You'll find an absence of hyperbole and exaggeration. I want you to get a clear picture of who I am, what my service is and the flavor of my trips. Get a sense if my background and approach are a good fit for your needs. I would be pleased to create a trip for you here in the Canadian Rockies or wherever your dreams can take us!
See you in the hills,
James blench
