Course Content: A one-day clinic focused on learning to lead waterfall ice climbs. This course is ideal for all levels. Even if you do not plan to lead ice, it is excellent training to be a solid follower. The curriculum will include hazard evaluation, movement technique, rest stances, ice screw placements, leading strategies and anchor construction. All “leads” will be done as a mock-lead scenario on top-rope.
Prerequisite: Participants should have some ice climbing experience. The course is suitable for both never-ever leaders as well as climbers that are already started leading ice but desire refinement. Participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.
