Is this only available for Scouts?

While this wall is owned by Camp Alexander and operated for the benefit of Scouting America we are able to provide private guided trips as part of our agreement with them. Particularly during the week you are unlikely to have any issue booking a trip with us. Most Saturdays and Sundays through the winter have fewer private climbing options but there are still a few.

Is the Camp Alexander Ice Wall good for beginners?

Yes there are a variety of climbs that are less challenging and not as tall for those who may be intimidated by heights. Guides tailor the day to your experience and goals to ensure the best experience.

Where is Camp Alexander?

Camp Alexander is in Lake George, about an hour west of Colorado Springs. We will be sure to send exact directions since cell service is spotty.

Is this ice natural or is this an ice park?

Camp Alexander's ice wall is formed through farming ice on their property to provide climbing experiences to Scouts and the guided public. It is the only private ice climbing park in Colorado meaning we have exclusive access.

The wall is roughly 100' wide and 70' tall.
