Ice Climbing Resources

"How to Ice Climb" by Sean Isaac and Tim Banfield is a great instructional guide.   It has great descriptions of techniques with plenty of colour photos and exercises you can take to the ice to hone your skills.

Forget the guidebooks, this app has information on so many routes, it would take years to climb them all.  It includes avalanche risk ratings, grades, locations and descriptions.  Some of the routes include a navigation feature that enables you to follow the map on your phone and walk right to the climb.

Will Gadd is one of the best, most experienced ice climbers in the world.  He has teamed up with Black Diamond to create these fantastic instructional videos, free on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnK3kW3xS8E

If you're just starting out, want to start leading or learn to multi pitch, it's great to hire qualified mountain guides.  I reccomend Yamnuska Mountain Adventures.  Join one of the organized courses or hire a private guide to work with you.  https://yamnuska.com/
