If you've never been on belay, or if you don't even know what that means—to advanced mixed climbing and mountaineering clinics—we have something for everyone. Led by professional athletes, certified guides, and seasoned veteran climbers, clinics and guided climbs will help you broaden and develop your climbing skills. Guides hail from around North America and the Northeast region especially. If you don't know what's the best clinics for you, feel free to call!

Ice Climbing For Rock Climbers

Ice Climbing For Rock Climbers

For those of you who have rock climbed, indoors or out, know how to tie into the climbing rope, and how to belay. You'll learn crampon and Ice Axe use and how to move over a variety of steep frozen terrain. This course will get your gears moving and get you comfortable on the ice!

Women's Learn To Lead

Women's Learn To Lead

This is an advanced level course for experienced female climbers ready for the "sharp end." Participants will gain incredible skills and get individualized instruction from guest guides on how to lead ice. You will leave this two day clinic feeling comfortable and confident on lead!

Steep Ice

Steep Ice

Take your ice climbing skills to the next level. Learn how to move smoothly, without getting pumped! Vertical ice takes on many forms: mushrooms, bulges, cauliflower, candlesticks, chandeliers, pillars, curtains, smears, and flows. Brittle or punky ice, blue or yellow— it takes imagination and experience to move efficiently and confidently on this awe-inspiring terrain.

👋Welcome back, @kelsey_rex Kelsey first swung an ice tool on Mt. Washington in 2019, and has spent the past 5 winters cutting her teeth on technical ice and mixed routes in the White Mountains. During that time, she worked at International Mountain Equipment for 2.5 years, then spent a few years guiding rock, ice and mountaineering objectives in the MWV, serving at Flatbread Company downtown and volunteering as a part of New Hampshire’s Mountain Rescue Service climbing team. Alpine climbing expeditions as a part of an all-female team are her favorite - she’s been grateful for the ability to have gone on multiple trips to big beautiful places like the Alaska Range and Patagonia in that style. She’s currently spending a winter based out of Bozeman, MT to learn from ice and mixed routes in a new zone, and in the summer she will transition back to the Tetons for her third season guiding alpine rock for Jackson Hole Mountain Guides. She also really really loves to run (mostly on trails and in the mountains), dance and meet new people. Kelsey is hugely grateful to brands like @blackdiamond and @lasportivana for supporting her pursuits of her passions.

👋Welcome back and Happy Birthday @mgclimber1 🎂 If you're looking for the definition of an all-around climber, Marcus Garcia may very well be your man. From an impressive list of more than 200 routes put up all over the US and Mexico to a spot on the UIAA board pushing to bring mixed climbing to the Winter Olympics, Marcus' ambitions don't stop at "simply" projecting a new difficult line. As his climbing career has evolved, Marcus's commitment to the climbing world goes beyond establishing hardcore 5.13 trad routes. A lot of the youth he has mentored are now mentoring future climbers.

📽️Saturday Evening Presentation: Beyond The Climb by Kevin Lindlau & Marcus Garcia A keynote presentation, film, and conversation with @lindlaukevin and @mgclimber1 , exploring the quiet poetry of mentorship in climbing. Kevin began climbing under Marcus’s guidance twelve years ago, a partnership that grew from instruction into shared vision. From the U.S. to Bosnia and Herzegovina, they carve new drytool and mixed routes while shaping mentorship for the next generation. Kevin went on to become the first U.S. male athlete to reach a World Cup Finals and has since climbed some of the hardest drytool routes in the world. This is a story of connection, courage, and echoes that carry far beyond the climb.

📽️Friday Evening Presentation: Rebuilt, Still Climbing by @jimewing A lifetime of climbing rarely unfolds in a straight line. This presentation explores what it means to continue when the original path—and even the original body—has changed. Rather than focusing on “bouncing back,” Rebuilt, Still Climbing tells a story of rebuilding, adaptation, and intentional redesign. Drawing on lived experience as both a climber and an engineer, Jim Ewing reframes resilience not as a return to what once was, but as the creative process of reimagining what comes next. When familiar systems no longer work, new ones must be built—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through reflection, practical insight, and personal narrative, Jim invites participants to consider how they respond to disruption, injury, or major change. It offers a grounded perspective on navigating loss, embracing limitation, and cultivating forward momentum when the old framework is gone. Rebuilt, Still Climbing is ultimately about continuing the ascent—by redesigning from the inside out, honoring the process of change, and discovering strength in adaptation.

Leading is very rewarding but can also be dangerous and scary if you are not prepared technically, physically, and mentally. On the first day, we'll cover advanced anchor & belay systems, racking of gear, rope management, and route finding while on a multi-pitch climb. Day two will deal with placing screws from awkward stances, using alternate protection systems, and focusing on protecting the climb, not the move.

💥New This Year! 🌬️The wind has been howling all day and @mwobs is showing a peak gust of 105mph last night! This got us thinking about one of the new Ice Fest clinics this year, the Mount Washington Observatory Overnight trip. 🗻Join IMCS guides for a Mt Washington climb with a one-night stay in the famous Mount Washington Observatory, on top of New England's highest peak. Home to some of the world's worst weather, Mt Washington's extreme wind and unique weather patterns have been studied since the 1870's! Officially founded in 1932, MWOBS has been observing, researching, and educating the public about weather, climate, and the mountain environment for nearly a century. On this two-day trip, you will ascend Mt Washington via the Lion's Head Winter Route, receive an educational tour of the observatory, have the unique opportunity to watch the sun set and rise from the warmth of the summit building, and then descend the same route. Although you have most of the day to make the summit and return, this is still a physically demanding hike. Please call with any questions. 🗓️Want to join, but have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) about the rest of the Ice Fest fun? Don't worry! This trip ascends Mt Washington on Thursday and descends on Friday, so you'll have the whole rest of the weekend to join in on the festivities or even take another clinic. 🗻🌬️🌠🌄📡🔭💤 MWV Ice Fest 2026 February 5 - 8 @climb_imcs @ime_northconway @arcteryx @blackdiamond 🔗 Link in bio for more info and to sign up for a clinic 📍Land Recognition MWV Ice Festival takes place on land of the Pequawket N’dakina (Abenaki / Abénaquis) Wabanaki (Dawnland Confederacy Indigenous names for Mt Washington: Agiocochook, Kodaak Wadjo, and Waumbik

💥Filling Fast! 🗻Mt. Washington. The highest peak in the northeast, yet a "small" mountain by elevation standards, it lies at the intersection of three major storm tracks and is known as the home of the "world's worst weather." Mt. Washington prominence, geography, and notorious winds make it a very challenging winter ascent. Our guides will lead you safely from the valley towards the alpine zone with a goal to reach the 6,288 foot peak. Conditions above timberline can be as serious as any mountain in the world. As we ascend we will discuss general mountaineering skills, winter navigation and we will practice basic crampon and ice axe skills. No previous mountaineering experience is required. However, participants should be physically prepared and well equipped for a rigorous all-day experience.

DO NOT Parking on Town Hall Rd. You will be ticketed/towed. Do Not block any driveways. Registration will look a bit different this year. Instead of a packet of paper, you will receive a festival pass. There are a lot of sponsors with demo gear. We'll have some gear gurus to help you find the right gear for your clinic. Look for the sign with your clinic name on it. Once all clinic participants have arrived and been outfitted, your guides will go over the plan for the day.
