LOWA ICE & MIXED CLINICS

The Lowa Ice & Mixed Clinics include one day of demonstrations & climbing for each climbing technique: one day of mixed climbing/dry tooling on the Telecom Towers, and one day of ice climbing at the south face of Single Cone or Alta Ice. Climbing will be on top rope to focus on ice & mixed climbing techniques.

Participants need a reasonable level of fitness including being able to carry a full pack for up to 4 hours. Some previous alpine experience is required. This ensures that participants will gain greater enjoyment and learning outcomes from the course.

Prerequisites:

• Participants must have used ice axe and crampons before.
• Must have sufficient skills and fitness to get themselves to the south face of Single Cone and back again (up to 35-40 degree snow, 1.5-2 h walk each way).
• Ability to top rope belay someone.
• It is necessary to have rock climbed previously and spent some time in snowy, alpine environments
