Ice Climbing

Summertime at the Matanuska Glacier is an excellent time to try the vertical world of ice climbing. You can get started without any prior climbing or trekking experience. Our step by step approach ensures professional instruction in the art and technical aspects of ice climbing. You begin on moderate ice slopes and later use your skills to explore the glacier or challenge yourself on more vertical walls. Trips will accommodate different skill levels so bring the whole family. Great for group team building, too! Ice climbs depart daily at 10:00 AM.
No experience necessary.

Length: Approximately 6 hours.
Cost: $130.00 per person, plus entry to Glacier Park. 2 person minimum, ages 12 and up.
Traveling alone? If we can't add you to a group, you can still enjoy a full day of climbing, with one-to-one instruction, for $200. (this rate is only if we have no scheduled groups for you to join)
We Provide: All the technical gear for ice climbing and glacier travel.
You Bring: A day pack, sunglasses, sunscreen, gloves, rain gear, warm fleece clothing and lunch.
