Black Intro to Ice Climbing

This clinic, specifically centered for Black climbers and hosted by Arc’Teryx and Mardi Fuller, will be paced for first time ice climbers, though more experienced climbers can get plenty of climbing and 1:1 instruction throughout the day.

Participation may require walking up steep and unstable, rocky and snowy terrain to reach the climbing venue. Ice climbing involves use of the full body to climb ice with the support of a rope held by your climbing partner. Please let us know in advance of any accommodations you may need in order to participate.

While we encourage those who racially identify as Black to join any clinic offered at Ice Fest, this clinic is specifically intended to provide a space exclusively for Black climbers.
