On this day we were visiting the park and were able to view a group of youth that were climbing the Chimney with guidance from an instructor from the Fox Mountain Guides. It was amazing to see how fearlessly they climbed. As a visitor to the park you are able to have an unobstructed view of the climbers as they ascend.
