Mountain adventures for all isn’t just a tagline—it’s our commitment. Moxie offers scholarships to help make guiding and instruction more accessible.

Introductory to Expert
Climbing Grades: WI2 to WI5

3 Days

All Levels Welcome
Join us for three days of ice climbing in the Ouray Ice Park. In this course we’ll focus on building the competence you need to start climbing more independently or pursue bigger objectives around your neck of the woods, Telluride, Silverton, Alaska, and beyond. Whether you're just getting started or refining your systems, we’ll focus on foundational techniques, technical ropework, and partnership building—all tailored to your personal goals.

Why Three Days?
More time means more reps, more learning, and more trust, in your technical systems, ice movement and your partners. You’ll leave with a stronger foundation, new belaytionships, and the skills to begin climbing more independently.
