Ice Climbing is an Adventure Sport that requires a sharp mind.   It is as demanding as thought to be. It can be dangerous, but mostly to those who dare death by lacking good sense.  It is an excellent upper body workout and requires experience at high altitudes.   Elitists and other ice enthusiasts visit Ouray’s man-made ice park from all over the world. It is a top rated ice park and is one of a kind.
