Alaska attracts visitors from all over the world who come to see and experience the diversity and vastness of our magnificent state

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.
