HPW 300GG - Ice Climbing Seminar

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Human Performance and Wellness

Description:

The Ice Climbing Seminar will focus on transitioning previous indoor or outdoor rock climbing skills to learning the fundamentals of climbing waterfall ice. This seminar will begin with basic ice climbing gear and the history of the sport and quickly progress to techniques, technical systems like ice anchors, and alpine climbing training and strategies. This course includes two indoor/classroom sessions and two field components: one local day of skills practice in the Wasatch, and a weekend excursion. Location will be condition-dependent but may include Ouray, CO; Hyalite Canyon, MT; or Utah destinations. Students should at least have basic rock climbing experience, but the instructor can certainly accommodate students without prior climbing experience but who are excited to learn to climb ice!
