This course if for people new to ice climbing or intermediate climbers that want to increase reps to improve technique on the ice at Lake City.
Beginners are welcome but students should have some experience climbing, specifically knowing how to top rope belay and tie into a harness appropriately.
We will cover gear, technique, and demo anchors. To get good at ice climbing, you need a lot of reps and that is what we aim to offer. We will try to climb Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning.
Students are responsible for food, travel and lodging but we may look to share lodging/carpool. We will provide ropes and ice tools. You will need to rent or have proper boots, crampons, harness, and helmet.
