Ice Climbing Trip from Whitehorse in the Yukon

Please allow a full day for this activity including 3 to 4 hours of ice climbing.

• Pick-up from your accomodation or you can meet directly your guide at the rental shop at the Mt Sima Ski Hill.
• Start the day at the rental shop at the Mt Sima Ski Hill, located 15 minutes outside of Whitehorse.
• Select your equipment for the day.
• Once you are packed and ready, the drive to the trailhead is approximately 1 hour.
• From the trailhead, there is a 40 minute hike on a snowy trail. Be prepared to carry a heavy pack containing ice axes, crampons, and your food and water for the day.
• Once you reach your destination, you will take a short break to hydrate and learn a few basic ice climbing techniques.
• When you are ready, you gear up and climb to the top of the waterfall! Your guide will place the anchors and belay you from above. You will always be safely attached to a rope from your harness.
• During the climb, you set the pace! Throughout the day there are plenty of opportunities for snacks, hot drinks, and photos of the stunning landscape.
• When you are satisfied with your waterfall adventure experience, you can walk down the trail beside the waterfall (no need to rappel) and share memories of the day with your guide and team as you return to the vehicle.
• Finally, you will take off your equipment and be driven back to your accomodation or starting point.

No climbing experience is necessary, but you should have a moderate fitness level and be comfortable hiking on a snowy trail with a heavy pack containing ice axes, crampons, and your food and water for the day.

Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

The lunch has both vegetarian and meat options.

Please note that this activity is weather-dependent.
