Lake City Ice Climbing

This 2-day climbing “weekend” serves as a refresher and primer for the season. We’ll teach new skills and techniques and make friends along the way!
Lake City is like a quieter version of Ouray, but with the additional comfort of tents with wood burning stoves at all of the bases. You can walk from any lodging in town to the ice park, and the brewery is located right at the edge of the park to celebrate a great day on the ice!

  • Efficient movement is safe movement
