Glen Boles was born in New Brunswick in 1934 and came west to Calgary in the mid 1950s. He was introduced to mountain climbing by Heinz Kahl, a new arrival in Canada from Germany, and immediately fell in love with high places. During the 1960s he climbed often with Brian Greenwood, one of Canada’s finest mountaineers and did many difficult ascents including several new routes.
