This day is designed to really emphasize efficient
steep ice technique. Learn tips on how to Swing,
kick, and move most effectively on steep terrain.
This includes working the triangle,
monkey hang, and twisting your hips. Practice
drills and get one-on-one coaching. Mixed climbing
will also be an option for those that are keen
during the day.
Where? Haffner or Bear Spirit.
Prerequisite: No previous ice or mixed experience
is necessary for this course. However, some
climbing experience is necessary whether it be
indoor/outdoor, lead/top-rope or rock/ice. The
