Ice Program Applications Now Open!
/The Ice Program Applications are now Open!
The AMC Boston Chapter Mountaineering Committee’s annual Ice Program is an immersive, 40-hour instructional program designed to teach waterfall ice climbing to students with outdoor rock climbing skills and winter sports experience. We focus on the equipment, techniques, and practices that are useful on the mountains and crags of New England as well as ice climbing areas worldwide.
The Ice Program consists of three mandatory lectures in Boston, and two hands-on weekends in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Our program is 100% volunteer-run and offers new climbers the opportunity to meet and learn from our community of highly-experienced outdoor climbing enthusiasts.
