Ice Climbing Courses:
Introduction to Ice Climbing:
Ever thought of how cool it would be to climb a
frozen waterfall?  We can make it happen.  Our
skilled, enthusiastic instructors will teach you the
techniques necessary to climb on low-angled
beginner ice climbs.  No experience necessary!  
We will supply you with all the technical equipment
and instruction to allow for an exciting, safe, and
rewarding day on the ice.  Please see below for
rates or contact us for more info. This course is
offered in both private guiding and
Open Enrollment formats.

Intermediate Ice Climbing:
For climbers who have already been on the ice a
few days, or who are experienced rock climbers,
we can offer more challenging, exciting terrain to
explore. Courses can be focused on climbing
technique, technical skills, or destination climbing.
Our instructors will work with you to tailor the
course to your needs.

wishing to learn new skills, or refine their current
ones.

level courses include:

A Word About the Dangers of Adventure Activities:
"The expertise,
professionalism, and genuine
passion of the team at Vermont
Adventure Tours is
unsurpassed.  Their work with
our "at-risk" youth [while ice
climbing] was a true testament
of the power of adventure-based
therapy!!!  We are excited to
work with them again in the
future!"
