Mountaineering – Ice & Snow Courses

Mountaineering consists of various skillsets, and one of the basics is the use of Ice Axe and Crampons in order to improve mobility on ice and snow.  It’s not just important on vertical ice climbing, but also glaciers, and steeper objectives. Our Ice & Snow courses are the best way to begin developing your skills. Besides ice climbing, crampons are used to reduce the likelihood of a slip and fall one peaks or routes covered by snow and ice.  This is also true when attempting a glaciated route, such as the Hotlum-Bolam ridge, or the Jamapa glacier on Pico de Orizaba.  We offer a variety of training and courses to give you the basics.  Below are some of our most popular ice & snow courses to learn ice axe use, self-arrest techniques, or other technical climbing skills.  Join us and get the training needed to climb Mountains worldwide.
