Ice climbing is fun and engaging. It draws us out of our comfortable and warm places and into an unreasonably awe inspiring environment. If you haven't experienced ice climbing in Alberta, you haven't experienced Alberta.

@davidthompsonclimbing Well. It’s time. If all goes well, shops should have the 2024 DTCA guidebooks in hand Monday, Tuesday at the latest. This has been a two year (4 if we’re honest) for me (@redpointcreative) in design and a yearly passion for @girthhitchguiding and @rusochiquitico and many other route builders. There are too many people to thank, but a special mention to @narrdaclimbing for partnering with us to build 3 of the new areas, and Liz Taylor, @kurtispaul6 and @jordyyh for endlessly getting editing requests from me. Also, ANYONE who donated to the DTCA bolt fund or came to shovel trails and move rocks: THANK YOU. Let’s goooooo! Available next week at: @trackntrail @alloutclimbing @trailheadclimbingandfitness @factoryclimbingyeg @va_canmore @blocsclimbing

This material strength and failure demonstration is pretty 🤩!

With ice climbing season arriving: We have dropped a number of our rental prices and hope this helps you get out with friends this winter. The cost of ice climbing equipment can be a huge barrier, we are excited to help make this sport accessible. https://trailheadclimbing.ca/outdoor/gear-rental/ We are very passionate about supporting you and your friends to get out ice climbing this winter. https://girthhitchguiding.ca/try-ice-weekend/ Remember - early season ice climbing is inherently more demanding and hazardous. It’s a long season so don’t be afraid to let things build a bit before you get after it. The ice will be here…long enough. . . . #adventuremakesyoubetter #getoutside #iceclimbing #davidthompsoncorridor
