Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for the ice climbing experience? Can kids participate?

A: The ice climbing experience in Telluride is generally suitable for ages 12 and up, but younger kids can be allowed if they're accompanied by an adult and the guide gives the green light. It’s best to check with Mountain Trip directly before booking to ensure they can accommodate your group. Keep in mind that ice climbing can be physically challenging, so it’s good for kids who are adventurous and active!

Q: What should I wear for the ice climbing experience? Any specific gear recommendations?

A: You’ll want to dress in layers! Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, then add a warm insulating layer like fleece, and finish with a waterproof outer layer. Don't forget gloves that allow for dexterity and warm socks. Mountain Trip provides all the climbing gear, but your own clothes should keep you cozy while climbing. Also, bring sunglasses or goggles for the bright sun reflecting off the ice!

Q: Can this ice climbing experience be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, Mountain Trip is pretty flexible with rescheduling due to weather conditions, which is common in the Rockies. If they have to call it off, you’ll usually get an option to choose another date. Just make sure to call them as soon as possible if weather looks sketchy the day before.

Thinking about gifting ice climbing in Telluride – thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m considering giving my boyfriend a half-day ice climbing experience for his birthday since he loves adventure. I found this one with Mountain Trip in Telluride and it sounds amazing! Has anyone done this? What’s the vibe like? And is it really beginner-friendly? We're both pretty active but have never climbed ice before.

Anyone have tips for ice climbing in Telluride?

I’m going to do this ice climbing experience with my friends next month, and I can't wait! But I’m a bit nervous. What if I can’t make it up the ice? I don't want to hold everyone back. Any tips for beginners? Would love to hear your experiences!
