Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies

Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies by Kane, Alan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781771600972.

A practical guide to scrambling in the Canadian Rockies, combining route information with the judgment needed to travel safely through mountain terrain. Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies brings together routes for hikers and scramblers seeking summit objectives beyond maintained trails. The guide focuses on the information needed to understand each outing, including route-finding, terrain, difficulty and the character of the ascent and descent. Rather than treating every mountain objective as interchangeable, the book helps readers distinguish between easier scrambling and more serious terrain where exposure, loose rock, weather and route choice matter. Its practical approach is intended to support informed decisions before and during a trip. The emphasis remains on mountain travel and summit routes rather than technical climbing, while recognizing that scrambling still demands preparation and sound judgment. For experienced hikers ready to move onto off-trail mountain routes, the guide provides a structured introduction to scrambling and a substantial collection of Canadian Rockies objectives.
