Backcountry ice leading is a good stepping stone into more significant alpine terrain where large blocks of ice climbing are likely to be encountered.
Climbers should have experience leading ice climbs for a few seasons. Climbs often take place in remote and dangerous terrain and climbers should be confident leading for the best experience.
There are several locations that work well for this course due to quality backcountry ice climbs. Specific locations will likely be decided based on ice and avalanche conditions at the time of booking.
These are the climbs that make people's dreams. Thin streams of ice ribbon up the sides of mountains with the promise of challenge and excitement. But these climbs are not like multipitch rock. Because of their location they often have avalanche conditions to be considered and big climbs require efficiency. Big ice climbs also require different management of the team to stay safe.
For experienced climbers we would recommend this as a Full Day to get an in depth experience on a multipitch ice climb and discuss a variety of techniques and skills to make for a better climbing experience.
