San Juan Mountain Guides
Climbing a frozen waterfall is a sublime experience. There is perhaps no other discipline of alpinism that offers such a satisfying feeling as sinking your crampons and ice tools into a vertical pillar of ice. Ice climbing began in the U.S. in the late 1960’s. Since it’s modest beginnings, ice climbing has evolved and increased in popularity in large part due to significant equipment innovations. In a word, ice climbing is Fun!
International Mountain Guides
Ouray, located in the San Juan Range of southwestern Colorado, is one of the few locations in the lower 48 states where quality ice climbing is virtually guaranteed in the winter months. A combination of good weather (285 sunny days per year), easy access to quality climbing, and the small, picturesque resort town setting have contributed to Ouray's nickname, "Ice Climbing Capital of North America.
