About Us

Sarah grew up in southern Ontario and has always had a passion for the outdoors. She started climbing in the gym while studying at the University of Toronto, but soon the plastic holds and frequent canoe trips to Algonquin weren't enough and she found herself in Jasper. 6 years later and she hasn't looked back since. Sarah is an alpine gal, seldomly visiting the local sport crags but always bringing her vibrant energy when she does. Ask her about community engagement projects supported by the AJC, that's what stokes her fire!

Doug Olthof, what doesn’t this guy do? He fly fishes, climbs hard, plays the saxophone and may be a spy for the federal government. Big Fun Uncle Vibes and honorary member of the Quebecois community. Be ready for fast approaches to the crag and warming up on 11c. Doug can be found tope rope soloing at RGs during what the rest of us consider the off season. Legend.

Lindsey, Linds, “that crusher gal”, “Director of Stoke”, whatever you might know Lindsey as, you’ve probably seen her around, planning community outreach projects with COS Jasper, or onsighting your project at the local crag.

Born and raised In Jasper, Cameron has taken full advantage of the opportunities living in the mountains. From skiing, to hiking, biking and of course climbing this gentleman does it all and has from a very young age.

Cameron has already spent many days climbing, developing new routes, providing stewardship and mentorship to the climbing community. You can find him in the big mountains on ropes, crampons and rock shoes, but will most often find him at the crags perfecting one of his favorite discipline, and that is hard sport climbing where he excels and has no intention of slowing down. If you see a young handsome man with a big smile, it’s probably Cameron.
