点评:I have always wanted to try ice climbing. Since I was a little kid and first learned you could I thought it was the coolest thing. I booked a session on a group climbing day in 2024 but it was canceled due to weather being uncooperative. I am glad I didn’t give up and waited another year. I applied the fee from the previous year (it is non refundable!) for a private one on one day and boy was it worth it.
If you’re considering trying ice climbing, I would do whatever you can to spring for a one on one in lieu of a “group day”. The entire session is tailored to you and your goals. If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, Marty and Alpine Endeavors will ask pointed questions to plan an outing you will learn and be inspired by afterward.
I wanted to take advantage of the cold snap mid January and just went for it. We headed into Platte Cove near Hunter mountain and after a short hike in, stopped for an intro lesson on how the gear works. How to use the ice tools, how to kick the crampons. How to read the ice where to swing where to avoid it. He set up a top rope system. Assessed my belay technique while he climbed up then came down, sent me up twice, before suggesting we keep hiking down to the bottom of the ravine and climb up the 6 or 7 waterfalls out! What a trip! I left the day wanting to buy all the gear I could and immediately get back out there.
It may be expensive for some but a good guide is a professional at making you feel like it was worth it. And it was. Every penny! He took some great pictures to help the memories last, so I could be present in the moment. That is why guides are worth the investment! Freeing up bandwidth for you to enjoy the day and get the most out of your experience.
翻译:我一直想尝试攀冰。从我还是个小孩第一次知道可以攀冰的时候起,我就觉得这是最酷的事情。我预定了 2024 年的团体攀冰日课程,但由于天气不佳而被取消。我很高兴我没有放弃,又等了一年。我用去年的费用(不可退还!)进行了一次一对一的私人攀冰,真是太值得了。
如果您正在考虑尝试攀冰,我会尽一切努力让您参加一对一课程,而不是“团体日”。整个课程都是根据您和您的目标量身定制的。如果您不知道自己到底在寻找什么,Marty 和 Alpine Endeavors 会提出尖锐的问题来计划一次您将在之后学习并受到启发的郊游。
我想利用 1 月中旬的寒流,就去了。我们前往亨特山附近的普拉特湾,短暂徒步后,停下来学习了装备的工作原理入门课程。如何使用冰镐,如何踢冰爪。如何判断冰面,知道在哪里摆动,在哪里避开。他设置了一个顶绳系统。他爬上去时评估了我的保护技术,然后下来,送我上去两次,然后建议我们继续徒步下到峡谷底部,爬上 6 或 7 个瀑布!真是一次旅行!我离开时想买下所有我能买的装备,然后立即回到那里。
对某些人来说可能很贵,但一个好的导游是让你觉得值得的专业人士。事实也确实如此。每一分钱都值得!他拍了一些很棒的照片,帮助我留下记忆,这样我就可以活在当下。这就是导游值得投资的原因!释放带宽,让你享受这一天,充分利用你的体验。
