Hi, my wife and I are thinking of booking a climb during our visit at the end of June this year, I was wondering how far in advance we should look at booking a slot, I understand it may be necessary to book early but I also want to try and book when the weather looks at its best so we can optimise the weather to fully appreciate the views.

Our family of 7 did the Ridgewalker and it was great. The views at the top were beautiful, I believe that there is another bridge and more ladders to climb with the longer route.

Our kids ages were 13 youngest daughter to 23 oldest and everyone was able to do everything. Have fun and enjoy beautiful Banff!
When meeting for this, do we pay for the chair lift up or do we meet at the bottom? Thanks!
A:
We met at the bottom of the chairlift where we were outfitted with the gear by our guide. The guide then rode the chairlift up with us and gave us a short course on safety at the top …
