Ice Climbing-
Experience the challenge of climbing a frozen waterfall. Learn the techniques and balance that will have you kicking efficient steps with your crampons and cruising up the vertical water with each swing of the ax. Ice climbing has become very user friendly due to lighter axes and warmer clothing. Two beginner locations will be climbed for a great intro weekend.
