From South America and Alaska to the Himalayas, ice climbing is a necessary skill for most high-peak mountaineering experiences.
And there are few places better to learn than in the San Juan Mountains of Colorful Colorado!
Over the course of our 1+ days of climbing together, our certified guides will help you improve your ice climbing techniques and get you out on some icefalls as well as frozen waterfalls to test them out.
Nearby to Telluride and Ouray, there are plenty of amazing places to test out our climbing chops, including in the Ouray ice park as well as the Skylight Area.
Just tell us exactly what you are looking for out of this ice climbing experience and we can tailor the perfect itinerary to suit your skill level and goals.
By the end of our time together, we’ll aspire to have you out on some icy slopes in the beautiful San Juan Mountains and may even get the chance to conquer an impressive frozen waterfall.
When we’re not on the ice, enjoy this incredibly beautiful area. Take in the mountain views as much as you can and enjoy a soak in the soothing natural hot springs at night.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this incredible 1+ day ice climbing course and experience in Colorful Colorado!
