Call or pick
up the new South Fork ice guide "Winter Dance" at
Cody's newest and most knowledgeable Mountain Shop "Core
Mountain Sports". Located in downtown
Cody across from Wendys at 1019 15th street. Stop in or call
for your guidebook or conditions.
The small town of Cody, Wyoming is home to
some of the best ice climbing in the United States. The Valley
hosts the highest concentration of ice in the lower 48 states.
The season begins as early as October and can run into the
long sunny days of April. Cody attracts a small group of climbers
each year. Steep approaches, long routes, and untouched ice
will leave the average climber whipped by the end of the day.
There is only a handful of locals that make up the ice climbing
community, and they tell tales of WI3 feeling like WI5. The
early and late season climbs will not be found in a guidebook.
Checking with the locals is a must!
