Guided Ice Climbing - Full Day

In Colorado’s high country, join a knowledgeable guide for a private full-day ice climbing experience designed for all skill levels. Each pitch is tailored to your ability, helping you build confidence and skills while immersed in stunning winter scenery. This adventure offers a personalized, safe, and memorable way to explore the outdoors.

This full-day experience gives you up to eight hours on the ice in Summit County, with a schedule built around steady learning, safety, and plenty of climbing time. Your day starts at a set meeting point before heading toward the mountains, where your guide chooses a climbing area based on current conditions. Because the tour is private, the plan can be adjusted to your pace and comfort, making it a practical choice for beginners, families, and anyone looking for focused coaching.

When you arrive at the climbing zone, your guide helps you gear up with the provided equipment and guides you through the basics, step by step. You’ll learn how to use your tools, trust your footing, and move efficiently on ice. The straightforward approach keeps the focus on learning and enjoyment, with rotations between climbing, resting, and technique adjustments to keep the experience accessible and engaging.

As you climb, you’ll notice the clean sound of your tools setting into the ice and the solid feel of crampons on each step. The winter surroundings are quiet and open, with snow-covered ridges and expansive views that create a calm, spacious feel. The day wraps up with a return to town, giving you time to warm up, look over photos, and leave with new skills you can confidently build on.
