Overview

This clinic will focus on the techniques that make the difference when the ice gets steep and the terrain becomes more demanding. Participants will work on advanced movement, efficient tool and crampon placement, body positioning, managing pump, resting techniques, and climbing with greater precision while conserving energy. Instructors will also cover reading complex ice, adapting technique to different ice conditions and features, and making better decisions when the climbing becomes physical and committing.

Expect to climb a lot. This hands-on clinic focuses on time on steep terrain, individual coaching, and pushing your technique beyond simply getting to the top.
