Vail Valley Ice Climbing
Ice climbing is the quintessential sport of Colorado. In winter, you are actually climbing up a frozen waterfall wearing crampons and wielding ice axes. With these tools you slowly and carefully pull yourself up a huge column of ice. The views are breathtaking. The local area boasts some of the best ice climbing in the world. This is a very exciting and challenging sport; many local guides can offer a safe introduction to this unique sport. A day ice climbing is an adventure you will always remember. Usually, ice climbing refers to roped and protected climbing of features such as icefalls, frozen waterfalls, cliffs and rock slabs covered with ice refrozen from flows of water. The Vail Valley is home to breathtaking, diverse and challenging ice climbing venues. Options range from low-grade ice climbs to 120-foot tall virtual standing waterfalls and everything in between.
