Ice climb a frozen waterfall!
Imagine ascending a frozen waterfall, swinging an ice tool into a bulge of blue ice, then placing your ice crampon onto a delicate shelf in a curtain of chandelier ice. So fun and exhilarating that you must give it a try!
Near Aspen off of the Rio Grande trail next to the Roaring Fork River lies an ideal beginner ice climbing cliff called Sewer Falls. This is an ideal place to experience your first introduction to ice climbing or to work on technical skills for steeper and longer ice routes.
Deep in the heart of the Rockies, the small Victorian town of Redstone, Colorado lies beneath soaring sandstone cliffs. Ample snowfall and year-round waterfalls that freeze solid from November through March make the hamlet an ice and mixed climber's get away with abundant routes. From WI 2 to WI 5, and M2 to M10, rim to canyon, most have easy access and are just minutes from the car.
For the more experienced climber, consider a guided day of ice climbing in Redstone or Vail, Colorado! Our AMGA trained/certified mountain guides are experience alpinists that guide both ice and mixed-ice climbing routes.
