Ice Climbing School – Feb 4th

Ice Climbing School – Feb 4th

UPDATE: We're now at capacity for this class.  Feel free to email us to get on the waiting list!


Ascent NB will be holding its first Ice Climbing School on Saturday, February 4th!  The event will be held at the Hatchery, in the Sussex area.

This full day event costs $80 for non-members (and includes an Ascent NB membership thru April 1st 2017) and $50 for members (including all UNB Rock and Ice members).  Half of the fee is required as a non-refundable deposit, and no refunds are permitted in the final week before the event.

All technical gear is provided (boots, crampons, ice tools, helmets, harnesses) so all you'll need is layered warm, waterproof clothing, your lunch, and your psyche! Space is limited so sign up early.

Minimum age of 14 (at our discretion).  Under 16 requires adult accompaniment. Under 19, must submit in advance a waiver signed by the legal guardian

To register:

  1. send us your deposit by Email Money Transfer to ascentnb@gmail.com
  2. email ascentnb@gmail.com. Put "Cool as Ice! - 2017 Ice Climbing School" in the subject to indicate how stoked you are to try ice climbing!
  3. ensure you've submitted a waiver either electronically, or in person the day of the event.

All proceeds will go to help pay for Ascent NB's single largest expense, the insurance policy that our land use agreements require.

Details on boot sizing, location meeting times, etc., will be distributed in the next couple weeks.
