Ice Climbing Weekends
Scaling up frozen
waterfalls you say? There are good times and challenges to be had by all! The
David Thompson Corridor is home to some of the best ice climbing in the
Canadian Rockies, without the crowds of more populated areas to compete with.
Agenda
Day 1– Arrive at the Sheiling Mountain
Lodge in the evening where you will meet your instructors and fellow climbers,
have a soak in the hot tub, relax, and head to bed early to get ready for the
weekend.
Day 2- Head out west and get ice climbing! Depending on experience and
comfort levels your instructors will choose the appropriate location for
climbing. Learn about safety, knots, belays, equipment, climbing techniques,
and have tons of fun! After everyone has had their fill we’ll head back to the
lodge for a delicious supper and more soaking in the hot tub.
Day 3– We’ll be back at it bright and early!! Everyone will feel more
comfortable with ice climbing by now so we’ll head to a location that is a
little more difficult to really get the blood and adrenaline pumping. There are
many different levels of climbs to challenge all skill levels so don’t worry.
After pushing ourselves to the max again all day we’ll head to the lodge for
soup and snacks before packing-up and saying good-byes.
