GUIDED ICE CLIMBING
Cody-Southfork
The South Fork of the Shoshone ranks as one of the top 4 ice climbing destinations in the country. What makes Cody stand out from the rest? The high quantity of 5-star multi-pitch ice climbs from WI3-WI7. Due to its geographic location–the “rain shadow” effect equates to very little snow and one can often approach on dry ground. There are very few locations on the continent that have this unique combination.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“Booked with MAG for a private guide and three days of ice climbing. Got set up with guide Lindsay Fixmer for the trip. Amazing guide! Thoroughly experienced, confident, and highly skilled climber but very modest. Excellent teacher with great patience. Ability to personalize the training/experience based on the climber and their needs, ability, and goals. Would absolutely work with her again in the future. Working with MAG was smooth and easy. Very responsive to email, punctual, and made a scheduling change without any problems. Gear (boots and harness) was all in great condition. Highly recommend this guide service!” – MIKE C.
