Private Ice Climbing
Guiding and Instruction
The world famous Ouray Ice Park is the best place to learn and improve skills. The classic backcountry ice routes in our backyard offer beautiful climbs to test your ability and experience the winter wilderness. In addition to our programs that focus purely on ice climbing instruction, we also guide many of the classic San Juan backcountry ice climbs. Climbing objectives range from one-pitch wonders to 900+ foot multi-pitch ice climbing like Stairway to Heaven in Silverton. A popular program is to book two days of ice climbing instruction in the Ouray Ice Park and then a third day for a classic backcountry ice climb.
The San Juan Mountains have enough backcountry ice climbs to keep even local ice climbers busy for years. Routes are very dependent upon proper conditions as many of these climbs have severe avalanche hazard. Additionally, some routes do not come into condition each and every season. Be patient and flexible with your route choices and plan to get out of bed early. Get ready for an excellent Ouray ice climbing experience!
