Private Half-Day Guided Ice Climbing - Summit County, Colorado

Spend a crisp winter morning or afternoon learning the fundamentals of ice climbing with Colorado Adventure Guides. This half-day outing offers the perfect introduction for beginners or a fun challenge for anyone looking to refine their technique. Under the guidance of a professional instructor, you’ll cover everything from using crampons and ice tools to body positioning and efficient movement on ice.
Your guide will select a venue suited to your ability and the day’s conditions—often just a short drive from our Silverthorne base. You’ll have the chance to climb multiple routes, practice different techniques, and gain confidence with each swing of the tool. No experience is required, and all technical gear is provided, so you can focus on learning and having fun.
The half-day format is ideal for those new to the sport, families looking for a shared adventure, or anyone wanting to fit a unique winter experience into their day. With expert instruction, small group sizes, and scenic alpine surroundings, you’ll come away with new skills and an appreciation for what makes ice climbing such a rewarding winter pursuit.
