Join us in June Lake for top rope ice climbing and winter mountaineering training! This event is a combined cragging event with ICE 1, ICE 2, and an overnight MTN 2 training component. You may attend one or both days. Depending upon conditions, we'll climb at Horsetail Falls, the North Gully, or Tatum Falls. The MTN 2 component is available for anyone who'd like to snow camp the night of Friday the 20th. Prior experience climbing ice and snow is helpful, and prior experience winter camping is recommended. Participants will be expected to know how to tie in and belay safely. Loaner gear may be available. We have room for 10. Hope to have you out with us!
