About this trip

The Northeastern United States has some of the most amazing ice climbing around and great opportunities for beginners!  You'll enjoy a day of climbing some great frozen waterfalls that come back year after year. We also offer multi-pitch ice climbing courses. If you're looking for an extreme adventure on the ice then YOU FOUND IT!


The day starts on the ground discussing safety, basic ice climbing gear, movement on the ice, axe and crampon techniques, balance and body positioning. The 2nd part of the day you'll be climbing on waterfall ice of various heights putting together what you learned. Then we move on to belaying and [climbing knots](http://www.indoorclimbing.com/Climbing_Knots.html) and hitches and much more! Ages 12+ and minor must be accompanied by parent or guardian.
