Discover what it’s like to be an arctic explorer when you and a friend go Glacier Ice Climbing in Alaska!
On this exciting 4-hour Glacier Ice Climbing tour for two, you’ll land directly on the Knik Glacier, a National Natural Landmark, and explore its fascinating beauty in a once-in-a-lifetime hands-on experience!
Kick things off with a thrilling scenic helicopter ride complete with breathtaking views of the rugged Alaskan wilderness, then land right in the middle of the Knik Glacier. As you hike past frozen waterfalls to your climbing destination, listen as your professional guide shares about the life cycle of glaciers and why they are so important to human life.
Your guide will equip you with everything necessary to keep you safe including a rope, harness, helmet, boots, crampons, and ice tools to ensure a successful ascent. You’ll learn how to climb on vertical glacier ice, weaving in and out of the massive 100-foot glacier walls. If you’re feeling brave, you can even take on a steeper challenge.
Once you’re finished climbing, the helicopter will return to take you back to base. Don’t forget your camera when you try your hand at the truly unique Alaskan experience of Glacier Ice Climbing!
