ICE CLIMBING EXPERIENCE
A DAY OF SWINGING AXES AND KICKING CRAMPONS ON BEAUTIFUL BLUE ICE!
First time climbers will be introduced to ice climbing at a smaller, easier wall. It’s a surprisingly simple activity that any moderately fit person can enjoy.
No climbing experience necessary. All ice climbing equipment is included. Experience an adventure unlike any other under the direct supervision of a professional guide.
