Prerequisites
TR Ice climbing & belaying

Want to get that steep ice technique dialed? Looking to try out mixed climbing? Forearms not pumped enough?

This is the trip you're looking for. We'll be heading to Trollville this Saturday to climb all the vertical, the thin, and the scrappy lines it has to offer. The approach is easy, but the climbing is typically not. Anyone is welcome to come, but we've found that people who have TRed ice before and 5.10+ gym climbers will get the most out of this trip since all the lines will be steep and sustained.

Don't be fooled by the "Intro" in the title. The mixed routes (meaning routes where you use crampons and ice tools on rock) will be pumpy and steep as well.

Experience TR belaying is required, experience TR ice climbing is strongly recommended.
