Beginners: First time climbers will be introduced to ice climbing at a smaller, easier wall. It’s a surprisingly simple activity that any moderately fit person can enjoy.

Epic Day Ice Climbing with our guide Eric & MSA

What an amazing experience, our guide Eric was so easy going and helpful. We were pretty nervous going in as we didn't have much experience, luckily it was just myself and my brother and nobody else besides our guide. It was a spectacular day and we made our way up to the peak and then boarded down the beautiful glacier to a breathtaking ice rock. Eric showed us the basics and then let us have fun, we tried several different variations with the same rope so we were constantly challenged. I will definitely be back again! Thanks!

Operator response

We're so stoked you had a great time with Eric! We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Mountain skills Academy as a first rate group of professional instructors

Mountain skills Academy as a first rate group of professional instructors This is my second year returning to work with mountain skills Academy and Eric Eric took my children ice climbing for the day in the back country they had a phenomenal time and haven’t stopped talking about it yet It should say a lot that I was willing to let Eric take my children into the back country I trust Eric 100% even doing high risk adventure sports in remote environments Every program we have done including helicopter operations has been professional safe and incredibly fun I generally don’t leave reviews like this but if you’re wondering who do you use for these type of activities look no further

Would 15000% do this again. Eric was awesome and we had the best day. So much harder than I originally thought but this made it so much more worth it. Thank you

We had the greatest time thanks to Eric!

Eric was such an experienced tour guide. It was just my partner and I in the tour, so we had plenty of time to climb and perfect our techniques. Eric was very patient and helpful and we have learned so much! Will definitely recommend :)

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words, Fiona. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us—and we agree, Eric is a great guide! We count ourselves lucky for customers like you. We look forward to inviting you on another tour in the future!
