Are there any guidebooks for Alberta? Specifically, Canmore and Banff National Park.

There are several, about 6 that cover rock climbing, not including alpine. Vertical addiction in Canmore or the MEC in Calgary will have what you need.

There are quite a few guidebooks for that region.  Separate books for Alpine climbing, trad/multipitch, sport climbing and bouldering.  What are you looking for?

Check out Raptor and True Grit on the "East End of Rundle" above Canmore.  Awesome multi-pitch sport routes!  (Raptor is only 5.9 if you pull on one QD on the first pitch)
