Suggestions for climbing areas

I'm planning a trip to Canada later this year and looking for some suggestions of places to climb and even some routes.
I'm mostly looking at mountaineering and alpine climbing, but also rock climbing. I haven't been to Canada before and looking for some tips on places I should research further.

Heh there. Canada is a very large country (2nd largest in the world) with many great locations for a variety of climbing. Could you be more specific about location? Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory have the most accessible and most established alpine routes. Other areas do have fine alpine climbing. The Canadian Rockies in Banff and Jasper National Parks have many of the most famous Canadian alpine climbs, as does the Coast Range north of Vancouver. If interested in the Rockies check out Dow Williams alpine climbs lists, it provides an excellent overview.

Cheers

Thanks, I have been going through Dow Williams list and marking up locations on a map. I have been mostly looking into British Columbia and Alberta as I think I'll be based in BC to begin with.
