Kick Ice for Kids | Montana Alpine Guides

Description

Parents are welcome to join, however, the climbing is just for the kiddos!

This Saturday climbing session is short but sweet and is a great way for kids to get to try ice climbing for free! Professional local climbing guides will be setting ropes and offering instruction.

Itinerary

Hyalite Canyon (Bozeman, MT): This is one of the top 3 destination ice climbing areas in the entire US, climbers come from all over the world to climb ice in Hyalite. To access this pristine alpine canyon we drive 17 miles on plowed USFS roads. Here we climb on the northern edge of the Yellowstone Ecosystem. This beautiful canyon contains over 200 climbs, approaches range from 10 minutes to 1 hr depending on objectives.

Bozeman: 30-40 minutes

Big Sky Center: 1:30 minutes (45 minutes to where you meet your guide in Bozeman)
