Eureka/Silverton Backcountry Ice Climbing

With some of the biggest and most committing climbs in all of Colorado this is the place to be for adventure ice climbs. Far away from the ice park crowds these routes have a deservedly more serious air to them.

More experienced climbers looking to push themselves will find a variety of climbs. With just enough traffic to keep the trail breaking to a minimum these are some of the first climbs to appear in the San Juan mountains. 

While there are many classic ice climbs in a spectacular setting there are also a handful of moderate climbs and a little bit of single pitch for those who may just be learning to ice climb. With this location in the midst of some of the best ice climbing in North America this is the perfect place to enjoy an adventure and when mid winter conditions call for a storm we also offer backcountry skiing in the area.
