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.
