Colorado/​Ouray Guided Ice Climbing

Exhilarating routes for all levels with creature comforts by night make for the perfect winter adventure

Imag­ine strap­ping on your cram­pons, tak­ing your ice tools in hand, and climb­ing straight up a frozen water­fall.

The alpine set­ting of the San Juan Moun­tains near the famed towns of Ouray and Tel­luride, Col­orado offers world renowned ice climb­ing. Com­bine the easy access and great ice of the Ouray Ice Park (host of the pop­u­lar Ouray Ice Fes­ti­val) and numer­ous back­coun­try ice climb­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties and you have an ide­al win­ter climb­ing des­ti­na­tion suit­able for first time begin­ners to climbers com­fort­able on WI5 or harder.

Enjoy clas­sic mul­ti-pitch ice climbs in the Ouray and Tel­luride back­coun­try or choose your own way with guid­ed climb­ing days. And if you want to pol­ish up your skills before doing a tour, the intro course and inter­me­di­ate ice and mixed course will get you fine-tuned for the areas arm pump­ing, calve burn­ing classics.
