Ice Climbing 201


If you’ve taken our Winter Climbing 101 course or have some previous ice climbing experience, this full day course is for you. After reviewing the basics of ice axe and crampon use and self arrest techniques, we will then focus on specific techniques for efficient movement on steeper ice. We’ll help you fine-tune those techniques and then move on to ice protection and anchors.
As with all of our courses, we provide all technical gear and offer everyone personalized instruction in a group environment.

Topics Covered: efficient movement on steeper ice, fine tuning belay skills and belay positioning, ice protection and anchors, rope management basics
