Being a strong ice climber is about more than swinging tools and kicking crampons. Understanding rope systems, building reliable anchors, and knowing how to safely manage yourself and your partner are essential skills that often get overlooked.

Led by IFMGA Mountain Guide Angela Hawse, this hands on clinic focuses on developing the technical skills, confidence, and decision making needed to become a more competent, self-reliant ice climber. Participants will explore anchor construction, effective belay techniques, V-threads, rappelling, and safe descent strategies for both single- and multi-pitch ice climbing.

Whether you’re new to ice climbing or an experienced climber looking to refine your systems and eliminate bad habits, this clinic will help you become a safer, more efficient, and more dependable climbing partner.

Because climbing the ice is only half the equation. Knowing how to get yourself and your partner up and down safely is just as important.

Movement, Mindset & Confidence on the Sharp End

Instructor: AMGA Guide Lindsay Fixmer

Taking the sharp end of the rope requires more than knowing how to place an ice screw. It takes efficient movement, body control, sound judgment, and the confidence to trust your abilities.

Designed for women who are comfortable climbing ice and ready to explore the next step, this clinic combines the physical, technical, and mental skills needed to become a confident and capable ice leader.

Participants will focus on refining movement, improving footwork and body positioning, maintaining balance on steep terrain, and learning how to climb efficiently while conserving energy. The clinic will also cover ice protection, screw placement, route assessment, and the fundamentals of leading safely.

Equally important, we’ll explore the mental side of leading: managing fear, staying composed under pressure, recognizing your limits, and developing the confidence to make smart decisions when it matters most.

Through personalized coaching, controlled exercises, and mock-leading scenarios, participants will build a stronger foundation for eventually taking the sharp end.

Because confident leading isn’t about being fearless or simply climbing harder. It’s about moving with control, trusting your skills, and knowing when to commit and when to back off.
