Intro to Ice Climbing (1 day only)

September 20, 2025

Coordinator: Noel Tavan

Elevation Gain: 1500 feet
Round-trip Distance: 1.5 miles
Excursion Time: 8 hours (car-to-car)

Switched to 1 day due to weather being bad (rain and wind ) on Sunday. Couldn't find a deep crevasse to get more practice. Would be nice to have a glacier travel clinic right before it so we can scope the glacier. Everyone had a great time. Jeff had issues with boots and got blisters. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AygvGL4bNr6hm8xP6
