Ice Climbing at Pitchoff Cliffs
–
Off Campus
Come join Rich and Maya for what will be the first ice climbing trip of the 2025 winter season! Sign up if you’ve been burning to get on some ice!
Armed with crampons and ice tools, you will learn all the necessary skills to climb the frozen waterfalls in Chapel Pond Canyon. We’ll begin with a classroom session at 4:30pm on Monday, January 13th at the Gear Room in the FIC to introduce and fit equipment.
Then we’ll venture out to the Chapel Pond Area in the ADK/Keene, NY area for an afternoon of ice climbing outdoors on Wednesday, January 14th. No ice climbing experience is necessary, and all technical equipment will be provided!
*Belay certification, however, is required to attend. Please visit the Nelson indoor climbing wall during open hours to obtain prior to the trip! Registration is required! Register through the Ideal-Logic platform.- Sponsored by:
