Have you always wanted to try ice climbing, but didn’t want the commitment of having to travel for hours away from the Front Range to do it? Are you an experienced ice climber just looking for an opportunity to get more mileage closer to home? If you answered yes to either of the above, have we got a day for you!
Join Paradox Sports this winter season for a frozen adventure in our very own backyard, Clear Creek Canyon! Just a few short miles up US-6, there are a number of water flows that provide ice climbing of varying styles and difficulties.  Since ice climbing is highly localized and conditions dependent, the location of this climbing day is subject to change depending on weather and ice conditions.
We will be climbing at “Mickey’s Big Mouth”, clocking in at solid WI3, it is a short but sweet roadside flow that gives you all the pump of a 35’ vertical ice curtain with very little approach time, making it a great candidate for wheelchair users, with a bit of assistance from the final road shoulder down to the base. This climb is a great spot to pull hard or tap delicately on varying formations of ice, but being roadside it can be very noisy due to traffic. It has also been somewhat irregular to form over the past few seasons and may or may not be there at all when the date rolls around. The hope is it will be in, given a wet spring and summer, but it will be impossible to predict until the program date gets closer.
