History

We started operations in 1995, running mountain hiking trips for groups. Since then we have expanded our programming to offer just about any mountaineering adventure you could imagine.

Sawback was founded by Tom Wolfe, who is an ACMG Mountain Guide and member of the International Federation of Mountain Guides (IFMGA).

How can I book a trip?

Email us or phone us to enquire about a trip you'd like to do. We'll offer suggestions and find you a guide for the days you're interested in.

Are you a Guide's Service?

First and foremost Sawback is a small one-man operation. While there are guides who work with large operations in Western Canada there is also a small, co-operative community of independent guides who pass work they can't do on to others who can. If Tom can't join you in your mountain adventure we will refer you to another independent mountain guide who will.
