Q&A
A: Yes, there is an age limit for the ice climbing experience. Generally, participants need to be at least 12 years old to join. However, it’s best to check with Mountain Trip directly for any specific requirements. Also, kids under 18 will need a parent or guardian's signature on a waiver. Just a heads up!
A: Layering is key! Wear a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating layer like fleece, and a waterproof outer layer. Don’t forget warm gloves and a hat! The crampons can be a bit tricky to walk in, but you’ll get used to it. Mountain Trip provides all the technical gear, but you should bring your own warm clothing!
A: Mountain Trip is pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather. If the conditions aren’t safe, they'll reach out to you and help find another date that works. Just keep an eye on the forecast and have a few backup dates in mind. It's great that they prioritize safety!

Thinking of gifting the Half-Day Ice Climbing in Ouray!
Hey everyone! I’m looking to gift this half-day ice climbing experience for my boyfriend’s birthday while we’re in Telluride. He loves skiing but has never tried ice climbing. What do you all think? Anyone done this? How challenging is it for a beginner? Any tips for the day?
What to expect from the ice climbing experience at Ouray?
I'm really curious about the half-day ice climbing at Ouray Ice Park. What’s included and how long does it usually take? I want to make sure I'm prepared, especially since I've never done anything like this before!
