ICE CLIMBING 301

  • Advanced techniques for efficient movement on steep or low angle ice
  • Becoming an efficient member of a climbing team
  • Longer climbing routes or shorter, more problematic routes
  • When and where to place ice gear
  • Rope management on longer routes


  • This full day course is for experienced ice climbers looking to take the sport to the next level. Our goal is to seek out longer ice climbs or attempt shorter, more problematic routes. You’ll become a more confident second on steep terrain and understand how to move a climbing party smoothly and more efficiently.

    We also focus on choosing when and where to place ice gear. You will work closely with our experienced instructors to learn advanced techniques for climbing, route selection and anchors. This course can be taken more than once to further develop your skills. Come with a checklist of topics relevant to your own ice climbing, and we’ll take it from there!
