Ice Climbing Adventure Takes Guests Onto Mendenhall Glacier
Adventure seekers can experience the dramatic world of glacier ice on a two-hour ice climbing excursion at Mendenhall Glacier. Suitable for both beginners and experienced adventurers, the experience combines a scenic helicopter flight with a guided exploration of remote glacier terrain rarely seen by ordinary visitors.
After landing on the glacier, highly trained climbing guides introduce participants to the fundamentals of ice climbing. Guests learn how to use specialized equipment including harnesses, ropes, crampons and ice tools before taking on vertical ice walls, icy towers and other challenging natural features.
The roundtrip helicopter journey offers sweeping views of the Juneau Icefield and Tongass National Forest before reaching the spectacular glacier landscape. On the ice, participants can enjoy the rugged surroundings while climbing, exploring and capturing memorable photographs in one of Alaska’s most remarkable natural environments.
All essential climbing and protective equipment is provided, along with warm gear and a small hip pack containing water and a snack. No previous climbing experience is required, although participants should be prepared for sustained physical activity and uneven, moderately steep terrain. The adventure is open to guests aged twelve and above and offers a thrilling combination of scenic flight and hands-on glacier exploration.
