High Camp Trekking > Ice Climbing in Nepal
Ice climbing in Nepal involves the frozen waterfall, rocky ledges, and cliffs covered in frozen water flowing in the middle of winter from January to February at the foot of the Himalayas. This kind of winter adventure sport in Nepal is for those who aspire to climb mountains of 6000m, beginning with ice climbing. Technically, our guide takes good care of a beginner or an expert, from starting a single pitch to multi-pitch climbing of ice that rises from 20m to several hundred meters. We take you where ice is reliable and safe for climbing. In the winter, many ice climbing routes exist on the frozen waterfalls in the Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, and Rowling regions. The frozen waterfalls are easily accessed during a couple of days of hiking in the Annapurna and Langtang regions compared to the Everest and Rowling regions.
First of all, the guide does lead climb and places ice screws for protection while climbing up. Led climbing on ice is scary and needs practice. We recommend that beginners do top rope and lead climbing on the accessible routes. Experienced climbers can do led climbing on technical routes as well.
