OURAY COLORADO
Beginner to advanced climbers
January 29 – February 2, check out Feb 3, 2008

This is it gals – our most popular clinic and the one we've been doing the longest. The four-to-one ratio with two ropes offers you lots of climbing. We include a "Skills Day" that enables you to sign up for instruction in rescue techniques, mixed climbing, alpine skills and more. Get pumped up at the live auction and slide show given by one of our awesome guides that raises money for our local women's shelter.You will stay at the popular Victorian Inn, a few minutes walk from the Ice Park, where we climb in the famous Box Canyon! After climbing, enjoy the hot tub at the hotel or natural hot springs in town. Ouray is one of the most beautiful towns in Colorado, nestled in the bottom of a spectacular valley. ITINERARY
