For beginner climbers, our Two Day Intro to Ice Climbing course is a perfect way to dip your toes into ice climbing. You will spend two days in the Ouray Ice Park with world class IMG guides covering the fundamental basics of ice climbing on lower angle ice. After this, the group will progress to steeper climbs to work on more advanced skills.

For those looking to gain more climbing experience for upcoming expeditions or personal trips, our Two-Day Intermediate Ice Climbing program offers a range of learning and climbing opportunities in the Ice Park. The group will start in the Ouray Ice Park to review the principles of ice climbing. After this the group will spend the remaining day either climbing remote backcountry ice or diving deeper into more advanced skills in the ice park.

The 5-day Veterans' Reunion seminar is designed for those who have already completed a previous Ouray program with us. We maintain a 2:1 climber-to-guide ratio. We will not necessarily be climbing at a more technical level. Rather, drawing on our past experience, the group will move past some of the basic training quickly so that we can visit different and more varied terrain. We will attempt to climb in a new area each day, as conditions permit.

For those that want to extend their Ouray stay or need more personalized training, we offer customized ice climbing programs that can be specifically catered to climbing ability. Fit your dates, skill level and group size to our guide ratio for the perfect program to suit your needs. Contact us for details and scheduling. Register early to confirm your preferred dates!

The Easton Glacier Route on Mt. Baker begins at the Schreiber's Meadow Trailhead. From here, climbers ascend through dense PNW evergreen forests, through wildflowers and wild blueberry bushes, and up a stunning glacial moraine. From camp at the toe of the Easton Glacier, the route wanders up the glacier, past Sherman Peak and the summit crater, up the steep Roman Wall, and to the summit.

Plan on meeting at 8:00AM at the Ranger Station in Sedro-Wooley on Day 1 of your program. Lodging is not included before or after the climb

Mt. Shuksan is one of the most photographed mountains in the US. Its picturesque peak not only allows for amazing views but also creates a special climbing environment. From glacier climbing to alpine rock, Mt. Shuksan has it all. The Sulphide Glacier Route program gives climbers an opportunity to practice both glacial climbing skills such as cramponing, ice axe arrest, and rope team travel as well as test themselves on alpine rock. The Sulphide Glacier is a mellow cascading glacier on Mt. Shuksan and is perfect for both novice climbers and those wanting to gain more technical experience before attempting bigger objectives.

The Fisher Chimneys is an intermediate climb perfect for experienced climbers wanting to gain more technical experience before attempting bigger objectives. Both the approach and the summit climb will involve technical climbing as well as some glacier travel on the White Salmon glacier.

Mt. Olympus is one of the last remote peaks in Washington State. It is situated in the heart of Olympic National Park and is over 20 miles from the nearest road. Although smaller than many of its Pacific Northwest counterparts, Mt. Olympus is the third-most glaciated peak in the state. This trip starts at sea level along the Hoh River and winds its way through the rainforest and finally into the alpine ecosystem. After spending two nights on the trail, the team will further ascend on the Blue Glacier to the summit of Mt. Olympus. This trip is well-suited for both novice and experienced climbers looking to have a remote mountain adventure in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
