ICE CLIMBING 403- Mixed Climbing

  • Use of crampons and ice axes on rock
  • Advanced body positioning to make the best use of rock and ice features
  • Delicate movement over thin ice


  • Enter the esoteric world of “anything goes!” Mixed climbing will tap not only your ability to climb hard ice and rock, but also your creative problem-solving reserves. Nothing is quite as it seems in mixed climbing, and it requires a very open mind to see the opportunities that you will need to exploit.

    We’ll lead a brief clinic on the specifics, then get right onto those routes that are barely even there. You’ll need to have taken Ice Climbing 301, and show a good amount of rock climbing experience to gain entrance into this course.
