Ice Climbing

Ice Climbing is an Outdoors Program/Recreational Athletics course taught by Michael Alderson.

Course Description
New England with its cold, wet winters can be a wonderful place to climb frozen water! Students will meet once a week and travel to local cliffs to practice winter climbing skills. Primary focus will be on steep ice and mixed climbing, and the use of tool and techniques used for winter travel in the mountains. Class meets on Tuesdays 12:30pm - 6:00pm until Spring Break, 2/2/10-3/9/10. 5-College students will be graded pass/fail.
