ICE AXE AND CRAMPON CLINIC FOR WINTER HIKERS

This clinic is great for hikers looking to hike in the winter. Proper use of an ice axe and crampons is essential for winter travel. This is a very hands-on course and takes place outside on the ice and snow.

After fitting boots and crampons in the store we head out and show you how to properly use them. A great clinic for any age, fitness and skill level. No experience necessary, all equipment provided.
