From basic to advanced, from low angle to vertical ice and up to alpine ice
Courses are conducted anywhere from Frankenstein Cliff, to Huntington Ravine to Lake Willoughby -- take your pick. You'll learn how to place screws, build anchors, and set v-threads. An important emphasis will be placed on assessing ice conditions and reading objective hazards. Whatever your level, I can help you to climb safer and harder.

Looking to break into leading? We can help you to achieve that goal. Or let us guide you up a route you might not otherwise tackle, like The Black Dike, Omega, The Quartet Ice Hose, Repentance, Remission, Dropline or The Last Gentleman.
