I can handle any terrain just don’t have a buddy to head out there safely with. Feel free to text me (1)226-988-1028. Gonna be in lake Louise for 3 nights and banff for 2 nights

i think its gonna be pretty hard to find someone. they need to trust you with their life in case shit goes bad. hire a guide!
