New England Ice Week

Join KAF Adventures and enjoy the spectacular ice climbs of North Conway, NH.

This winter join KAF Adventures for a 5 day, unforgettable experience to one of the top ice climbing destinations in the country – New Hampshire.

Easier to get to than Ouray, Canmore, or Montana, this trip allows you the most climbing time in the most accessible terrain, for the lowest cost. New England is the ideal ice climbing destination because it provides a high concentration of ice.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced climber, exploring New England Ice is an amazing experience that will really help improve your ice climbing technique.

You will learn new skills, climb hard during the day and enjoy a comfortable nights stay.

During New England Ice Climbing week, you get to enjoy a personal KAF lodging retreat!

Honestly, what could be better after and exhilarating day of ice climbing than a cozy lodge with freshly cooked, hot meals, and community atmosphere. If this sounds like a great mini-break for you, let KAF Adventures handle all of the logistics while you enjoy a week of ice climbing!

What is the climbing terrain like?

Climbers living in the Northeast are very fortunate to have so much excellent climbing available during the winter months. Whether your goal is to go out and climb steep or low angle waterfall ice or do some winter mountaineering, the Mount Washington Valley and the White Mountain National Forest has an abundance of excellent terrain well-suited to your individual needs.

The New England terrain ranges from short top-rope problems, practically right next to the car, to long multi-pitch ice, alpine climbs, high-up in the mountains – and everything else in between.

Beginners and experts alike can find the winter challenge they are looking for.
