The premier women’s ice and rock climbing programs
Chicks Climbing now hosts two women’s programs in the vertical world! Chicks with Picks® has been Kicking Axe® with our ice climbing clinics in Ouray, Colorado for 11 years, and NOW we offer Chicks Rock! We finally shed our down coats to don our favorite tank tops, and took this road show to Devil’s Lake, WI and Red Rocks, NV, for some warm weather climbing fun!
We teach women of all abilities how to climb and improve current skills. Yes girls, that means beginners too! We create a super fun, safe and supportive atmosphere and give you access to our infamous Girly Guides. Our intensive 2, 3 and 4-day clinics offer an intimate 4-to-1 ratio that focus on taking your climbing to the next level. You gain the technical skills needed to become a more self-reliant climber and equal climbing partner.
2010 Sneak Preview: NEW this winter is The Quickie for those of you who don’t have time for the full commitment. It takes place over a weekend, so you don’t have to miss that much work!
OK, are you sitting down? This year we are offering our first-ever coed ice climbing clinic (naturally) called The Mixer! Are you surprised? Yup, we never cease to amaze ourselves with our innovative ideas. Girls, bring your boyfriends, husbands and friends. Guys, don’t be shy; please sign up on your own and climb with the Chicks!
In 2009 The Betty Ice Ball, A Womens Festival of Ice was a huge hit! We offer half-day clinics with a 6-to-1 ratio that focus on a specific skill, drill or level. Sign up for as much or as little as you can stand. Join us at night for dinners, slide shows, auctions and music! Network and meet like-iced women! Everyone is welcome.
Come One, Come All to the second annual full on women’s ice climbing festival! The Betty Ice Ball offers half-day ice climbing clinics at wicked affordable prices, yummy catered dinners, public events (yes, boys too) and a networking frenzy. Sign up for the full package (that's frickin' everything) or just pick and choose from our a la cart menu.
We are offering the opportunity be a "Chick" without having to sign up for one of our longer, standard, (more expensive) clinics. For those of you totally addicted to ice climbing and/or Chicks with Picks, you can attend one of our intensive clinics AND stay for the festival. Notice, the Betty Ice Ball is conveniently sandwiched in between our popular clinic The Complete and one of our new clinics, The Mixer.
