women's ice climbing clinics

Before you sign up please read our CLINIC LEVELS

OK girls, you’ve asked for it now you’ve got it…we’ve added an EXTRA DAY of climbing to this short format to give you a better “taste” of what ice climbing is all about.  You will also have more time to focus on the technical aspects of this exciting sport.  This clinic takes place in spectacular Ouray, Colorado, otherwise known as "The Switzerland of America". Climb in the famous Ouray Ice Park within walking distance from The Victorian Inn. We pack-it-in during this three-day event, we even host a public auction and slide show given by an inspiring woman climber. Come help us raise money and awareness for our local women’s shelter!
