Climbs/Expeditions

JHMG offers a full selection of winter trips, from introductions to ice climbing and winter camping, to winter alpinism with serious mountain objectives. If you want to learn how to experience the winter world in a safe and comfortable manner you will find your goal here.

ICE CLIMBING
Intro to Ice Climbing
Join JHMG for your first experience on ice. Learn the fundamentals of ice climbing, ice screw placement and belay techniques. No climbing experience is required. We conduct our ice climbing classes near Lake Louise, outside the town of Dubois, two hours from Jackson. While one-day classes are regularly done, two days with a night spent in Dubois works best. Our Cody office also offers ice climbing instruction, in the Custer National Forest outside Red Lodge, Montana.

$350 private; $205pp for 2; $160pp for 3


Multi-pitch Ice Climbing
JHMG offers several excellent options for multi-pitch ice climbing in the area:

Dubois, Wyoming, where abundant and accessible multi-pitch ice is found in the Wind River Mountains. The Gulley WI3, and Golden Tears WI4 are area classics with mixed climbing options.

Death Canyon, whose routes offer a very full day’s adventure in Grand Teton National Park: The Sentinel WI3, Prospectors WI3+ and Dread Falls WI4 M3.
