Eastern Sierra Nevada, half-day or full day ice climbing

Running along California’s eastern border with Nevada, the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains are the perfect place for an ice climbing adventure!

Starting from either Lee Vining or June Lake, nestled just to the east of the sublime Yosemite National Park, we will head high up into the mountains and find an ice wall.

Depending on your previous experience and preferences, we can find a wall that takes us a half-day (5 hours) or full day (8 hours).

There are plenty of great climbs of varying distances and difficulties, ranging from simple and short single-pitch routes to longer and more complicated multi-pitch climbs. Regardless of your abilities, we’ll find the perfect spot.

After driving up to our trailhead, we will make a scenic approach to the ice fall, trekking along snowy ridge lines and enjoying phenomenal views in every direction.

As we climb on the ice wall, we will also enjoy plenty of great views out over the rest of the sublime Sierra Nevada.

Depending on your skills and abilities, we can start the trip by going over the basic techniques needed for ice climbing before putting them to the test on an ice fall.

For more experienced climbers, we can just head straight out onto the ice falls and enjoy the high-quality and beautiful climbing.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable half-day or whole day Eastern Sierra Nevada ice climbing adventure!
