YOUR GOALS - OUR GEAR AND GUIDES

We love the ice climbing terrain here in New England. From short but steep crags in Connecticut to the hard vertical pillars and mixed climbs of the Catskills (NY) to the gullies and multi pitch ice climbing in the Adirondacks (NY) and White Mountains (NH) - you choose the objective, we'll bring the rope gun.
