This 5-day ice climbing course in Wye Creek, Queenstown, in New Zealand’s southern island will turn you into an accomplished ice climber in no time.
First, we’ll take a helicopter to access the ice climbing area in Wye Creek. It is indeed the best spot in the country! Then, we will focus on developing lead climbing skills. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with all current ice climbing techniques.
You won’t believe your eyes once the helicopter lands. You will find yourself surrounded by ice flows of every shape and size that drape over cliffs. We’ll find a multitude of climbs for every level.
These are some of the skills that will be taught during the course:
– Rope handling skills
– Anchor placement and belay systems
– Ice tools and crampons for ice climbing
– Route selection
– Multi pitch climbing
– Lead climbing
– Good decision making
– And also avalanche awareness and rescue technique
This course is designed to teach you how to climb independently. So by the end of these 5 days, you’ll be equipped to go ice climbing in New Zealand and anywhere else in the world.

Great trip to Gillespie Pass! The organisation was great, and in particular my guide Cameron was really professional and very well prepared, and we had a lot of fun on some spectacular hikes and chilling out afterwards at the excellent huts. An absolute highlight of my New Zealand trip!
