FAQ
Inclusions
North Cheyenne Cañon is the closest place to go ice climbing near Colorado Springs. When temperatures cooperate, frozen waterfalls in the shaded canyon offer beginner friendly ice just minutes from town, making it an easy way to try ice climbing without a long mountain drive.
The setting is smaller than the big San Juan ice areas, but the short approach and familiar canyon logistics make it perfect for first time ice climbers, families, and locals looking for a quick winter adventure. You will learn crampon movement, tool swings, belaying, and how to stay warm on the ice.
Formation depends on cold temperatures, so the season is shorter and less predictable than higher elevation areas. When Cheyenne Canyon isn’t in, guides can recommend options like Clear Creek ice, the Lake City Ice Park, or our Intro to Ice Climbing Class.
