Introduction to Ice Climbing:

Ever thought of how cool it would be to climb a frozen waterfall? We can make it happen.  Our skilled, enthusiastic instructors will teach you the techniques necessary to climb on low-angled beginner ice climbs.  No experience necessary!

Vermont Adventure Tours supplies you with all the technical equipment and instruction to allow for an exciting, and rewarding day on the ice.
