| Itinerary: |
| Course Content: A one-day course focused on the basics of leading waterfall ice climbs. The curriculum will include hazard evaluation, movement technique, rest stances, ice screw placements, leading strategies, anchor construction, and auto-block belaying a second. All “leads” will be done as a mock-lead scenario on top-rope.
Prerequisite: Participants should have some ice climbing experience. The course is suitable for both never-ever leaders as well as climbers that are already started leading ice but desire refinement. Participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.

Required Items to Bring:
Equipment: Participants should have their own harness, helmet, belay device, boots, crampons (dual-points are best) and ice tools (leashless preferred). I can supply extra leashless ice tools to try. If you have your own rack of ice screws, quick draws and anchor gear then bring it; if not, I will have extra. | | Recommended Items to Bring:
Other obvious items to bring are warm clothes and a down jacket considering you will be sitting around listening to lecturing. Bring your own food for lunch and snacks and a warm/hot drink. It might not be a bad idea to bring a camera to take photo's and assist you in the future to look back at the various things you learned over the course of the day. | |
