About AORE:
The Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education (AORE) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves the needs of the not-for profit outdoor industry by advocating for access to public lands for human powered recreation, promoting environmental and ecologically sound practices, and promoting diversity and inclusion in outdoor recreation. All proceeds from the event go directly to supporting the work of the AORE. If you are interested in supporting the AORE, but are not able to attend the clinic, you may contribute at this link.
About the Clinic:
Ice Climbing is an increasingly popular activity to get outside, be active, and enjoy Minnesota’s Winters. This clinic is appropriate for both beginner and intermediate ice climbers. No previous experience is required. The clinic will introduce participants to the fundamental safety, technique, and movement skills for ice climbing and will emphasize the application of these concepts. The clinic will also cover protection systems for ice climbing, ice climbing anchors, intermediate movement techniques, and an overview of leading on ice and mixed climbing concepts. The clinic is being presented with the support of the University of Minnesota Recreation and Wellness Department.
About the Instructor:
Bryan Karban is the Climbing and Trips Coordinator with the University of Minnesota Outdoor Program, serves on the AORE Board of Directors, and the Minnesota Climbers Association Board of Directors. He has guided rock and ice climbing trips for both commercial companies and college outdoor programs. Bryan has climbed all across North America and is passionate about sharing his knowledge through quality instruction. He has seen first hand the impact outdoor recreation can have on individual development, especially young adults, and values giving back to organizations, like the AORE, that support this work.
More Information:
The clinic will meet by the picnic tables at the base of the ice covered cliffs in Robinson Park and run from 9am to 4pm. All participants must have a harness, helmet, ice climbing boots, and crampons. The instructor will provide ice climbing tools, ropes, and anchor equipment.
