Ice Climbing

Cordova, Alaska is the home to many glaciers. These glaciers all host amazing ice caves and cracks, which makes it visually beautiful to ice climb as well as challenging. Ice climbing takes many forms but, unsurprisingly, the basic principle it to ascend some form of frozen water using ice axes and crampons. This may be compacted ice on an alpine North faces, very compacted ice on glaciers, or frozen, near vertical, waterfalls and water seepage's from cliff sides. A short walk or snowmobile easily accesses many of our glaciers. Points North will supply guests with the necessary instruction and equipment is available for a small rental fee.
