Ice farming December 2023

Whether you're a seasoned ice climber, or have never tried ice climbing before, the UAF ice tower is a great place to learn, train, or just hang out and get some laps in. Our friendly and helpful staff will get you set up and fitted with all the gear you need to climb, so don't worry if you don't have your own!

FREE with your SRC membership!

Day pass fee applies to all others (see below). Passes may be purchased at the SRC front desk, or Outdoor Adventures during open hours. 

All technical gear is provided (double plastic boots, crampons, helmets, harnesses, ice tools). We have limited quantities.

UAF climbing wall certification is required to BELAY. You may CLIMB without a certifcation as the tower staff is happy to belay for you.

MINORS: Please note that minors MUST be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to participate. Parents of minors aged 15 to 17 may submit a minors exception form, which will allow them to participate without a parent or legal guardian. This form can be found at the SRC front desk.
