Ice Leader Course
There is definitely some black magic involved in leading ice, especially steep ice. Improve your climbing technique, anchor and protection systems, and learn the ropes with our Ice Leader Course.
Even more so than rock climbing, leading when ice climbing involves serious commitment. Whereas rock climbing protection can often feel black or white in terms of its quality, ice climbing often involves a whole lot of gray. Spending a few days out with a guide who has already logged many thousands of meters of ice climbing will help accelerate your learning process and give you a significantly better understanding of the medium on which you are climbing – how to read it, protect it, and securely climb it as a comfortable and confident leader.
For those with little exposure to leading, a two or three day course would be recommended. For those who already have a solid foundational understanding of lead climbing, a supplemental day out could be perfect for rounding out the skill set and checking in with a professional. Regardless of where you are in your personal progression as a climber, we’re ready to help you take the next steps. Contact us to design a customized program.
