Our partners.
We exist as part of a community of businesses and organizations in the Fraser Valley, each of which is dedicated to the promotion of outdoor recreation and the protection of wild places. Our trips and courses are made possible by the work of the various advocacy societies, businesses and individuals who have dedicated themselves to building trails, bolting routes, and sharing their knowledge of the backcountry so that more people can enjoy our shared wilderness. We are proud to call each of them our partners.
