Quick Details
Ice Climbing Courses in North Conway
Join Kaf Adventures and enjoy the spectacular ice climbs of North Conway, NH. This winter, join Kaf Adventures for an unforgettable five-day 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. New England is the ideal ice climbing destination because it provides a high concentration of natural ice with easy 10 minute approaches.
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 night’s stay.

Expect Kaf guides to meet you at your level. Go top roping for a day or two and then try a longer multi-pitch ice route; there are five climbing days available. Learn technical skills as you develop your ice climbing technique.
Walk away with confidence in the technical systems used in climbing ice. We will have our own vehicles and our own comfortable group bed and breakfast. Kaf guides will provide meals for you and give you ample time to relax at night.
This is a group experience, and we will be sharing accommodations and making decisions about the day together. It’s your trip and we will do our best to accommodate everyone’s needs.
