Take the terror out of ice climbing–get strong at the ATC!
The first snows of the year have sent us all into a frenzy, stoked for skiing, stoked for ice, just…stoked! There’s already ice “in” down on Pikes Peak and the Park can’t be too far behind…so gear up and get ready to get down, bruthaz and sistahz! The Alpine Training Center specializes in mountain-adapted sports-specific training, and fall means…you got it, ice and skiing. I first heard about the ATC from Joey “The Matador” Thompson, Colorado Mountain School’s Guide of the Year in 2011 and local crusher. Joey made some great fitness and strength gains at the ATC, so I checked it out and I’ve been a regular ever since. They’re just starting their ski- and ice-specific courses, so consider dropping by if you’re interested in some tough training.
Check out the ATC on Facebook, or hit TheAlpineTrainingCenter.com. The scene is really low-key and fun, no attitude, and the training is hard! Come by!
