Ed Butler of Ossipee NH  didn't need ice tools to climb his way up this ice flow on New Year's Day 2002It is hard to explain the allure of ice climbing to people that have never done it before. Ice is a temporal medium, it changes all the time and presents new challenges for every ascent. For this reason veteran ice climbers can enjoy a lifetime of exciting and adventurous experiences with their partners. Our programs focus on safety awareness and promote personal responsibility. Not only do we want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience with our guides but we also want you to learn valuable skills along the way.
