During most of the year the Sierra is blessed with excellent ice climbing possibilities. We offer training in ice climbing techniques for beginning through advanced levels. Skills taught include front point and flat foot cramponing, tool placement, reading ice conditions, placing ice screws, multiple anchors in ice, techniques for leading, and more. Scheduled dates are listed below, or contact our office for custom dates.
Trip Registration
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend protecting the cost of your trip and other non-refundable travel expenses with travel insurance. Global Rescue’s Signature Travel Insurance allows you to insure all of your expenses. While a Signature Travel Insurance policy can be purchased at any time, purchasing a policy within 20 days of making your initial trip deposit gives you the widest range of policy options.
Global Rescue
Safety is our top priority, but unforeseen emergencies can occur. A Global Rescue membership will provide you with 24 hour advisory services, field rescue (evacuation from your point of injury/illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility), and also evacuation to your home hospital of choice for continuing care all at no cost to you. Memberships start at just $119.
