This is not meant to be an instructional session. Tips will be offered to those interested but the idea is to get quick laps up and down and getting muscle memory back in anticipation of upcoming ice climbing trips this winter.
Must be fully vaccinated. Please email me copy of your vaccination card prior to the event. Masks will also be required.
We will spend a couple of hours practicing swinging tools and climbing the foam wall improving upon our ice climbing technique.
The first in-person climbing committee meeting is also that evening. Maybe you will want to join that too after we are done on the wall?
I call this "Hot" ice climbing. Dress for indoor climbing and prepare to sweat!
Meet in Goodman C ready to climb at 5:30 PM.
Required Equipment
Steel crampons (horizontal ones), harness, belay device, helmet.
If you want to bring ice tools for a show and tell, feel free but we will use the special tools for the foam wall for the actual practice which are available at the program center.
