Learn to ice climb at Chicks with Picks women's ice climbing clinics in Ouray, Colorado

Beginner to advanced climbers
February 14 – 17, check out Feb 18, 2008

If Colorado seems too far away you can join us on the east coast! North Conway is a charming town situated in the heart of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We will stay in the cozy Cranmore Inn, complete with home cooked meals and fireside chats. Each day, we will carpool between 15 to 45 minutes to the climbing sites and hike on moderate terrain to the climbs. This is one of the "classic" areas for ice climbing in the country. You'll have the opportunity to experience 3 different climbing areas while you are here. We will host a public auction and a slide show given by one of our world-class women guides to raise money for the local women’s shelter. ITINERARY
