TELLURIDE
GUIDED ADVENTURES
Round
out your exploration of the wonderful winter world of Telluride,
Colorado with a day of ice climbing. 
Whether you are a long time local or a first time
visitor, Ryder/Walker Alpine Adventures welcomes you to the
fascinating adventure of ice climbing.
First
time climbers will be introduced to basic techniques
and safety practices, including rope management and the use
of crampons and axes. You'll then begin climbing on a pleasantly
snug rope on moderate angle slabs.
As the day proceeds, your guide will help you develop skills
with confidence-building practice on increasingly varied terrain.
Many first day climbers are able to complete the ascent
of a vertical frozen waterfall!
More
experienced climbers will welcome the experience
of weathered guides to explore some of North America's most
classic ice climbs, including the dramatic and notorious
Ames Ice Hose.The Telluride region offers a spectacular
array of climbs, and our guides will help you to achieve your
