ICE FEST

The Best Intro to Ice

Build a solid foundation of movement skills.

We provide a time-tested progression of ice climbing movement skills through decades of climbing instruction that will take your ice climbing to new heights.

Learn the best way to swing your tools, position your body, and balance on your feet to become a solid ice climber.

Our half-day of instruction will be spent practicing specific drills and receiving practical feedback from professional coaches/guides.

Our clinics will be instructed by a Cirque Guide and/or a sponsored athlete. Please meet us at the sponsor’s booth at the Ouray Ice Park. Plan on arriving 15 minutes early, ready with all your equipment, so we can leave for the ice climbing clinic at the start time.
