Step up your ice climbing game in New Hampshire's premier winter terrain! This customized day of climbing adapts to individual goals, whether it’s tackling multi-pitch ice routes, pushing your grades on single-pitch climbs, or mixing it up. Meeting at 8am, we'll gear up and drive 10-30 minutes to the day's best ice, chosen based on conditions and our objectives for the day. After a short approach hike (10-30 minutes), we'll spend the day climbing with an AMGA-certified ice instructor! We’ll wrap up around 3pm and be back in the car around 4pm. If you've caught the ice bug or you're a rock climber comfortable with multi-pitch terrain, come send it on some of the Northeast's most classic ice!
