Kootenay National Park of Canada
Climbing and Mountaineering
The Kootenay National Park Climber's Guide, available for viewing at the Park Warden Headquarters and information centres, gives detailed information about climbs, ridge walks and scrambles within the park. Park Wardens may be contacted for current climbing conditions at 250.347.9361. Climbers are encouraged to use the Voluntary Registration System.
Voluntary Safety Registration
If you are planning a long or hazardous trip and have no friends or family with whom you can leave details, you may choose to complete a Voluntary Safety Registration at a Visitor Centre. If you register out, by law, you must register your return to prevent a costly and unnecessary search.
