Glacier Blue Ice Climbing in Detail.

Overview

This tour is intended for either experienced ice climbers who want to mix it up and try a variety of glacier ice, or those who just want the sick photos.

The Glacier Blue Ice Climbing gets you on the wall with phenomenal glacier blue ice, with colors and textures that POP! If you've never done ice climbing before that's okay. Your guide will get you to a mild approach where they can teach you the basics and then assess what will work with your abilities, comfort level, and desired photos.

If you really want the rare photos and the stars align we can get you out for ice climbing under the northern lights. (Prior climbing during the day with us is required before we send you up ice with sharp objects attached to your feet and in your hands.) This is considered an additional session of the Glacier Blue Ice Climbing tour, and will not be confirmed until the day of so that you have your best chance with clear skies, safe temperatures, and active space weather.
