Description

If you are looking for a great winter getaway, then the Catskills mountains are for you. Located 2 hours outside of New York City, this range offers some fantastic opportunities to have fun in the snow. And on this full day trip that will last approximately 8 hours, we would like to take you ice climbing!

While the Catskills don’t have the enormous ice falls you may find in other larger mountain ranges, there are still several great walls to climb. Those walls also come in a wide range of sizes as well, from 50 feet to 1000 feet. Hence giving people of all ice climbing skill levels an opportunity to enjoy this amazing activity.

When it comes to which walls you climb, to how you climb them, it is of the upmost importance to us that you have an experience that is as safe as it is fun. To ensure this, we will make sure that you are properly guided every step of the way. We will also supply you with all of the necessary equipment, from crampons to helmets.

Along with the thrill of ice climbing, the scenery around the Catskills is incredible. From forests blanketed in snow, to the surrounding snow capped peaks, you will feel like you are in a winter wonderland.

So if you want big ice walls or small ice walls. If you want multi-pitched ice walls, roadside slabs, or ravine climbs, the Catskills have what you are looking for. To enjoy this amazing area, all you have to do is send us a request. We’ll see to it you have a great time.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
