Curious about ice climbing and eager to take on the thrill of scaling frozen waterfalls with ice axes and crampons? We’ve got you covered! Our expert guides will introduce you to the basics of ice climbing techniques and set up top ropes, ensuring a safe and unforgettable experience.
The ice climbing season in Almaty typically begins in late December and lasts till beginning of March. Around the city, we have three waterfalls at lower altitudes that form stunning icicles—ideal spots for beginners. By mid-March, these lower waterfalls start to melt, but you can still find climbable ice in the higher mountains.
For your first ice climbing adventure, we’ll choose the perfect location based on the season and ice conditions. With beginner-friendly routes and top ropes in place, you’ll learn essential climbing techniques and experience the thrill of ascending your first frozen waterfall!
