I hope this person is trolling, nobody can be so unfunny and dumb

Syncopated posted:

How's the rock quality in the Canadian Rockies, is it hard enough to be good/safe-ish climbing? The Swedish mountains are nice for hiking and skiing but actual climbing is kinda poo poo because the rock breaks really easily.

hahaha

there are many stories of experienced climbers coming here and being amazed at the poo poo rock, it's often rotten af

generally you just adapt to it, and adjust your rack/pro to deal with it

however, the bugaboos which are the next range over (2 hrs from banff area) are world-renowned for amazing rock/climbing, think stuff like pigeon spire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeon_Spire

if you're into mountaineering the rockies are a super destination, although probably much more challenging than a lot of what you'll find in other places

why do people pay a stupid amount of money to get driven onto the glacier when you can just walk to the old parking lot and hang out on the morraines?
