Greywolf GC:

It is the most expensive course in the valley from Golden to Cranbrook but it is the only high country course. If you compared this to the other courses in the valley then you would have to say it’s value was lower. But you probably have to compare this to the Banff courses that are similar in nature. If you do this then the greens fees are $ 60 or more cheaper. This course is not like the valley courses so I have to compare the value to like mountain courses. This course represents good value.

Scrambling:
Q: What is scrambling?
A: You climb with your feet, and use your hands for balance. We look at scrambling as a crossover between hiking and mountaineering, with some hands-on climbing but without using ropes for protection. The difficulty often lies in dealing with the environment, not the technical rock climbing.Skills involved include route finding and keeping yourself safe. There are quite a few peaks for scrambling, but if you get off route you could get into dangerous terrain.

Q: Where do you scramble in the Canadian Rockies?
A: We take some peaks in Kananaskis and some in Banff National Park. Some of the classics would be Heart Mountain in Kananaskis, the height is 2,135 meters and it is rated as an easy scramble. Big Sister in Kananaskis is 2,936 meters high and it’s a moderate scramble.
We assess the scrambles by time, hazards and difficulty in route finding. Easy would be mostly hiking with a little exposure to steepness, and moderate would be frequent use of handholds and more exposure to steepness.
