Intro to Ice Climbing Clinic
Climbing is one of those activities that you won’t believe it until you try it for yourself… then take it to a frozen wall of ice and just move into beast-mode! Strap on some crampons, grab some axes and battle your way to the top and look like a boss while doing it. Don’t be fooled, even the inexperienced can find the rhythm and prove to themselves that they have what it takes to climb ice!
GEAR UP!

- Taught by AMGA certified guides, this course will max out at 1:4 ratio so you can have quality instruction from your guide.
- Start from scratch with learning to belay or jump in at kicking, swinging axes, technique, balance and feeling good about your form. Plan on an hour of prep time to gear up and 2.5-3 hours outside on the tower.

- Wear warm gloves, hat and socks!
