Climbing in Ouray CO

Feb 8, 2023 –

 

The IMG Ouray team has been having a stellar season! We’ve benefited from incredible ice conditions down in Ouray, Colorado this winter. The Ouray Ice Park has had over 200 climbs to choose from due to the great weather.  Our teams have enjoyed everything from low angle slabs to learn on to steep pillars to push their limits.

Additionally, the backcountry ice has been climbing great this year. We have been fortunate enough to climb Bear Creek Falls with two groups. This climb which hasn’t formed in the past two years! Our teams have enjoyed the classic climbs such as Charmin Tube and Camp Bird that have been climbing fantastically as well with thick ice.

The ice season will continue through the end of February and we couldn’t be more excited. Longer days with more sunshine make ice climbing that much more fun!

 

 

Best,

Justin Sackett
