ALL IN ICE FEST
Clinics & Workshops

This one-day clinic is focused on building a solid base of skills for ice climbing. Participants will learn essential skills such as equipment fitting and use, belaying technique, strategies for staying comfortable at the crag, and will practice movement on ice climbs.

Suggested experience: no prior climbing experience required
Routes: WI2 to WI3+, Capacity: 8, Presented by: GRIVEL

This two day clinic is intended to build on foundational climbing skills and introduce skills and techniques for climbing steep ice, building anchors, and placing ice screws. Participants should expect to practice good belay technique, refine skills such as ice tool and crampon mechanics, practice efficient body positioning, and learn how to build ice anchors and place ice screws both on and off the ground.

Suggested experience: Recommended to have some experience rock climbing or ice climbing
Routes: WI3 to WI4+, Capacity: 8, Presented by: THE NORTH FACE

This advanced three-day clinic is designed to give skills for moving beyond the crag and onto longer or more remote ice climbs. Participants will have the opportunity to climb multi-pitch ice climbs, practice efficient movement, and learn techniques for anchor-building, technical descending, and strategies for longer days in the mountains. This includes one day in the park, one day in-classroom, and one day in the backcountry.

Suggested experience: Experience rock and ice climbing. Multi-pitch experience (rock or ice) is suggested but not required.
Routes: WI3+ to WI4+, Capacity: 4

Suggested experience: no prior climbing experience required
Routes: WI2 to WI3+ , Capacity: 8

This workshop is focused on learning the ins and outs of planning big expeditions with experienced expedition leader Phil Henderson. Participants will discuss how to define success in the mountains, choose objectives, create a budget, choose gear, and review all the details of a successful expedition.

This is designed to be an interactive workshop so be prepared for some great group discussions!

Suggested experience: no prior climbing experience required
Routes: WI2 to WI3+ , Capacity: 8

This one-day clinic is for those preparing to go into the backcountry for more remote ice climbing or ski mountaineering. The focus will be on avalanche terrain identification and decision-making, basic avalanche mechanics, travel strategies, and practice with avalanche safety tools.

Suggested experience: No experience required
Capacity: 6, Presented by: MAMMUT

This one-day clinic will cover the essential principles and standard practices involved in building strong and efficient ice anchors, and include plenty of guided practice time. Participants will learn the techniques and background needed to build safe anchors for three common ice climbing situations: top rope anchors for single pitch cragging, anchors for multipitch ice climbs, and descent anchors for rappelling an ice route.

The primary focus will be on optimizing screw placements for safety and efficiency, but the clinic will also include anchors that involve rock protection or natural features such as trees, boulders and ice columns, as well as fixed anchors seen at ice parks.

Suggested Experience: Some prior knowledge of rock anchors is preferred but not required
