Ice climbing in Ouray
Our Ice Climbing programs are now in full swing in Ouray, Colorado. The Ice Park is just now ready to open due to a stretch of warmer weather earlier in the season. Luckily all is on track now for good conditions. The climbing in the backcountry has been good from the very beginning. We have had groups out on several of the local features the past week. Here’s what one person said about her recent return visit to Ouray with veteran guide Justin Merle:
“…GREAT fun! Thanks for your help setting this all up. Today we went up Camp Bird Road and did an ice climb and a mixed climb that was mostly rock – super good practice for me to climb on rocks with tools and crampons. We are already planning something fun in the PNW next summer if possible. Justin is a great guide and a super sweet guy!” – Ann S.
