ABOUT THIS TRIP
Watch out Cody, IRIS is comin’ to town!
If you are an IRIS regular and gotten your fair share of the Ouray Ice Park and San Juan backcountry, join us in Cody, WY where the ice is grand, the approaches grander and the wind always exists!
The Southfork of the Shoshone outside Cody, WY is a breathtaking venue filled with epic ice lines for the advanced ice climber. The town has an old-west Wyoming feel and a slower-paced attitude that will surely charm even the most rugged IRIS alpinist.
You’ll feel the same community vibe as our Ouray programs and notice the same excellent, outcome-oriented instruction.
Seasoned ice hero? Perfect! We’ll get you working through long approaches to stellar steep ice climbs! From single pitches to up to 1000ft lines, Cody has it all!
If you are new to IRIS, we’ll be excited to meet you. If you are an alumnus, come check out this new venue!
