Alaska Ice Climbing Guide

CMI is based in Valdez (Alaska’s ice climbing Mecca) and is less than a 10 minute drive from Keystone Canyon: one of the world’s most renowned ice climbing destinations with big, multi-pitch ice climbs right next to the road and parking.

CMI offers guided ice climbing in many other areas of Alaska and has extensive experience near Anchorage (Portage Valley, Seward Highway, Front Range, Eklutna Canyon, Echo Bend of Eagle River, Hunter Creek), in the Matanuska Valley (Hatcher Pass, Caribou Creek, Gravel Creek), in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve (near McCarthy and Nabesna), and around Chitina. Your guide is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Alaska ice climbers.

CMI also offers an Ice Climbing 101 course in the Valdez area (info and scheduled dates available here).
