6:45am at the TPC

The best places in Washington to practice ice climbing are usually accessible sections of steep glaciers in the late summer, when the seasonal snow has melted off. MAC students will get the chance to try ice climbing with crampons and ice tools, learn how to place ice screws, build ice anchors, etc.
