Thanks to climate change, we will be venturing further and deeper into the mountains to find some ice to climb! Its highly likely that we may be limited to dry tooling, or climbing some sketchy ice. Regardless, come and join us on this character building adventure filled with a long(ish) hike and heavy backpacks! : )
What
This is an intermediate ice climbing trip for those with prior and recent ice climbing experience and above treeline hikes. Be prepared to climb anything from sweet ice, hero ice, crappy ice, to no ice.
