One of Canada's most well-known mountain ranges is ready to put your hiking, climbing and survival skills to the test. The Canadian Rockies are the ultimate challenge for avid rock climbers. This mountain range boasts snow banks, icy turf, challenging trails and brutal temperatures year round. Some of the most developed climbing areas are right around Calgary, and you can head off to the Ghost River, Canmore or Lake Louise for your fair share of an amazing alpine adventure.

You'll need a survival plan to trek along this challenging region like a pro, so make sure you're well-prepared with the following basics for survival:

MIOX Purifier - It's easy to forget about hydration when you're battling cold temperatures and trekking through snowy territory, but you'll need a reliable hydration pack to keep up with your water intake throughout the trip. Pick up the MIOX Purifier, a lightweight and versatile purifier that will clean up any untreated water in a snap.

Petzl Headlamp - A reliable headlamp will help you navigate those coves and caves on your trail and keep you on track as you head to the mountaintop. Just strap this headlamp in place as soon as the sun goes down so you can maintain good form throughout your evening's climb. The Petzl headlamp has extra features such as red LED lighting for extra night vision benefits.

North Face Down Jacket - Layer up with fleece and down to trap in as much heat as possible on your outdoor adventure. The North Face Jacket is a compressible, down jacket with a soft hood and plenty of insulation power for those days and nights when temperatures drop. Just add a pair of mittens or gloves to your ensemble and you'll be well-prepared for inclement weather.

The Canadian Rockies are a force to be reckoned with, a challenge that very few climbers undertake without practice, perseverance and - most importantly - a lot of courage. Brave the Rockies like a pro by packing the right gear and venture off to see some of the world's most breathtaking sights and sounds.
