SSI Open Climb Night — MMC/Holman Foam Artificial Ice Wall
Join us for an evening of climbing on the Foam Artificial Ice Walls at the MMC/Holman facility! This event is designed for climbers who are new to ice climbing, offering an introduction to essential techniques and a chance to practice in a fun, supportive environment.
We’ll have three ropes set up on the Foam walls and three additional ropes on “dry-tool” routes for those interested in learning the skills used on mixed routes (which simulate both rock and ice movement—common on technical alpine climbs).
Because space is limited, we can only accept a small number of participants. Priority will be given to climbers who have not yet participated in an SSI class or Open Climb Night. If accepted, you’ll be charged $20 for members or $25 for non-members.
No prior ice climbing experience required — this session is geared toward beginners.<br> You must be able to belay independently.<br> Gear provided: Ice tools.
Please bring: Harness, helmet, belay device, mountaineering boots, and horizontal-point crampons (we will have a few loaner pairs available) and approach or rock shoes for mixed climbing.
At 6:30 PM, we’ll begin with a short demonstration of ice climbing techniques, followed by open climbing time. Our experienced volunteers will be available throughout the evening to offer guidance, tips, and feedback.
