Bedson Ridge – 8-11 hrs Return to Splendor 7 pitches 5.8
The best multi pitch rock climbing in Jasper. Impeccable limestone with striking corner features 200m off the deck. Wow! Getting there is a worthy adventure in it’s own right. Previous multi pitch climbing experience is recommended. Bedson Ridge is close to the road yet made remote by the river. Access is either by crossing the Athabasca river by boat from an access point 30 minutes drive from the town of Jasper or by dirt roads accessed from the town of Brule 1.5 hrs drive from the town of Jasper. Once across the river the railroad track is followed for a short distance to faint goat trails that lead to the base of the cliff. The steep climbing on generally big holds will speak for itself.
