Capstone Ice
This is a student-driven capstone program tailored to individual goals and future climbing objectives. Students choose their focus while practicing ice climbing skills under a trained guide, receiving real-time feedback and optionally taking full lead responsibility. Objectives may include moderate mixed routes, long multi-pitch ice climbs, or alpine-style ice and mixed terrain.

Multi Pitch Ice Course
This course is reserved for experienced ice climbers who have completed an Ice Leading course with successful leads or have multiple confident single-pitch ice leads. A consultation call is required before enrollment. The program transitions single-pitch leaders into multi-pitch ice climbing (2–3 pitches, up to WI3+), covering top-down belaying, anchor construction, V-threads, multi-pitch descents, party-of-three systems, stance management, and anchor assessment.
