ice climb - ouray ice park - February 4, 2027
Lace up your boots and sharpen your front points for a trip to the Uncompahgre Gorge, home of the world-famous Ouray Ice Park and it's 200+ ice routes - all within walking distance of the cozy town of Ouray, CO.
The Park is a great place for novice ice climbers to get mileage, and for folks to experience ice climbing for the first time. For experienced ice climbers seeking more adventure, there's plenty of WI4+ and comp-level mixed climbing in the park as well as wild ice options up Camp Bird Rd. and the surrounding areas.
Participants will need to arrange their lodging independently, but I will share a spreadsheet to help us coordinate. Ouray is a very small and walkable town so most places will be close to one another. Plan for early starts and full days on the ice, followed by evening socials at restaurants in town and glorious soaks at the city hot springs.
Please register with the organizer via email and note your level of ice climbing experience. Rental equipment, if needed, can be sourced from The Scratch Pad, the University of Utah Outdoor Program, or thru local shops in Ouray. I also have a few sets of extra tools, boots, and crampons. Membership to the Ouray Ice Park is highly encouraged for all participants. The park is a free resource, volunteer managed, and most importantly - membership gets you into the park and onto the good routes 30 minutes early :)
