ACMG Technical Manuals

The Association of Canadian Mountain Guides produces a series of discipline-specific technical manuals that set the standard for guiding and instruction in Canada and worldwide. Developed and regularly updated by ACMG members who are subject-matter experts, these manuals reflect the latest best practices in risk management, technical systems, and instructional methods. While they are essential resources for ACMG student and professional members, the manuals are also valuable to recreational climbers, skiers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want to deepen their knowledge and refine their skills. Available in both digital formats and print editions, they provide accessible, high-quality reference material for anyone seeking to improve their competence in the mountain environment.
