Kick off your winter with ice and mixed climbing legend Sean Isaac!
Based out of Canmore, this camp will start your ice season with some instruction and plenty of climbing! Providing five days full of ice and mixed climbing, this camp will get your season started right. ACMG Guide and Rocki es legend Sean Isaac will expand the awareness and repertoire of intermediate to experienced ice climbers - exposing you to the opportunities and satisfaction of early-season climbing. A few of the many potential objectives include ice and mixed routes on Grotto Mountain, in Ranger Creek and the Ghost wilderness area, Mount Rundle, and the Stanley Headwall.
Level of Difficulty While there are plenty of teaching opportunities during the week, this camp is designed for people with at least basic rope handling skills and some experience climbing waterfall ice. “As with every other ACC camp, I was well looked after and the guides were professional, safe and good humored.” – 2010 Ice Camp Participant “The best for me was adding the new skill set of dry tooling and mixed climbing. I also appreciated that Sean worked to challenge me and increase my skill level.” – 2011 Ice Camp Participant “To me the guides stood out as the best thing. It was my first time using hired guides and I wasn't sure how relaxed I would be with them. It was like having a very experienced friend hanging out and having f un safely.” – 2011 Ice Camp Participant |
