Learn to Ice Climb!
 |
|||
|
There
is no better or easier terrain to learn ice climbing than on an
alpine glacier. Our one day seminar is a great introduction to this
wonderful sport. Once at the glacier's edge, class begins. Cramponing
is one of the most important basic skills and we will teach and
practice several techniques. Using our new skills, we will hike
to a series of ice cliffs, exploring the azure pools and waterfalls
along the way. We will practice front pointing and ice tool use
on terrain of varying steepness. Next we will grab the rope and
ice screws and set up an anchor. The day will be spent learning
and practicing knots, rope work, belaying, and body position. The
experienced guides will illustrate several ice climbing techniques
and then its your turn! You'll have the opportunity to climb several
cliffs, staying within your own comfort zone. After a full day on
the ice, we'll retrace our steps to Kennecott. We have taught ice
climbing to adventurers as young as 7, and 70.

There is a day adventure that fits every level of experience, age and physical condition. St. Elias Alpine Guides will supply all the specialized gear for each trip such as crampons for half day glacier walks; ropes, ice axes, and climbing equipment for a full day of ice climbing; emergency and First Aid kits for all outings; and experienced, trained guides. Participants need only bring their personal gear, an openness to the outdoors and a sense of adventure. |
