Find the Right Course for You
From first summits to technical alpine terrain.
Introductory Scrambling
Many mountain peaks — with spectacular views — can be reached through trekking and scrambling. Our introductory courses are designed for hikers ready to push into more technical terrain, building the toolkit to make those experiences repeatable and safe.
Our ultimate goal is to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to take these skills into your own adventures — not just follow a guide to the top.

What Climbers Are Saying
Awesome time learning to sport climb. Good weather, clearly very knowledgeable guide, and 6 hours later came out prepared to do it myself.
Had a fantastic time on an ice climbing trip booked through Climb Onsight! The process was seamless and we saved so much time on researching guides. The Muskoka Mountainworks guides are the best. They were patient with us newbies and made sure everyone had a nice balance of challenge and fun.
I had a great experience with Climb Onsight. Communication was prompt, scheduling was flexible, and the booking and payment process was simple. I now feel more confident climbing outside, and I wouldn't hesitate booking another experience through Climb Onsight.
