This manual defines technical guidelines for professional guides who are trained and certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG); however, no one person or organization can lay claim to the techniques included here.
The ACMG is the professional association of trained and certified Mountain Guides, Hiking Guides and Climbing Instructors dedicated to protecting public safety and enjoyment in climbing, skiing and hiking adventures. It is the only Canadian member of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA)
