Testimonials
Thank you for the great ice-climbing, and wonderful guiding by Andy Polloczek last week. My friend (Rico) and I had a lot of fun climbing, and we are really grateful of Mr. Polloczek's expertise. Even though Rico has ice-climbed in the past, he conveyed to me that he learned much more from Andy's instructions. It was my first time climbing on ice, and I think I am definitely addicted to this sport now. My other friends have expressed interest in ice-climbing as well (even a co-worker), and I will refer them to you and your company.

Ice Climbing - Guiding, Instruction & Courses - Utah Mt. Adventures
Wasatch water ice can be among the best in the nation. Scaling frozen waterfalls with crampons and ice tools is a unique and challenging sport sharing many aspects of rock and alpine climbing. The techniques taught on our climbs and courses open new possibilities for winter recreation and build skills for ascents of major peaks.
Season: Utah ice is usually in good shape from December through February, but please check with us for current conditions.
Types and Range of Difficulty: UMA guides offer instruction for all skill levels. Formations of up to 10 pitches in Provo and the Cottonwood Canyons range from Water Ice 2 to WI VI+, and cutting-edge dry-tooling and mixed climbing is also available.
