Just
because its cold and snowy in the winter months doesn't mean that
you can't get out and enjoy Alaska's wilderness! In fact, many
outdoor enthusiasts prefer the winter for the special recreation
opportunities it provides. Waterfall ice climbing, alpine snow
climbing, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and cross-country ski
touring are some of the great activities that abound during this
peaceful and amazing time of year. If you've ever wanted to sharpen
your winter skills, we can help! Our veterans of Alaska's winters
can safely guide you through the tricks and techniques that make
this season so much fun. These trips focus on the Western Chugach
mountains outside of Anchorage.
Who knows, you may find yourself looking
forward to the winters, just like we do!

Many
waterfalls continue to seep in the winter, causing amazing curtains
of ice to form upon their rock walls. This ice is one of the most
beautiful, aesthetic, and awe inspiring winter sights. We'll teach
you the subtleties and techniques involved in climbing this ephemeral
medium on some of the many waterfalls in the greater Anchorage area.
No previous experience is necessary; we can cater to first-timers
as well as those looking to take their abilities to the next level.
Intermediate skills include placing ice screws for protection, mock
leading, and more dynamic climbing techniques.
Day
Trips (8-9 hour day):
$350 for 1 person private tour
$210 per person for 2 people,
$190 per person for 3+
