“The Pyramid”. August 10, looking down from the peak of the Princess Pyramid as guide Mike Adolph (in blue) and his team (Jon Smith seen in red) descend ahead of us. Only 20 minutes before there had been a hail and rain storm swiftly blowing through with little to be seen, but we were thrilled to see the entire valley and beyond from this point!"

Join in on the fun for 2024!
Building on the success of the 2023 Chess Group GMC, we are excited to continue the tradition with the Remillard Range, last visited by the GMC in 2001.
This area of the Selkirks includes many different flavours of rock, from solid limestone to less-solid marble to beautiful alpine granite. There are long ridges with expansive views in all directions. A nice part of the camp objectives will be long, scenic loops from camp involving fun ridge climbing, glacier travel and stream crossings.
Whether you seek remote alpine summits, gourmet chef-prepared meals at 1,800 metres, or the camaraderie of like-minded individuals, the GMC offers it all. We are expecting high demand for the Remillard camp this year.
