"The UNB Rock and Ice Club will once again be hosting their annual Ice School on the weekend of February 13th and 14th. This is a great opportunity to try out an exciting new sport. The school consists of two full days of instruction covering safety and technique with a very low ratio of students to instructors. The club provides all the technical equipment for the weekend and absolutely no prior climbing experience is necessary.
Interested people can register at the UNB climbing wall in the L.B. Gym during our normal climbing hours. An information session will be held at 7:00 on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 9th at the UNB climbing wall. Attendance is required for all those who register.
For more information please contact climbunb@gmail.com and see the information package attached. Bring your sense of adventure!"

This is a great opportunity for anyone eager to learn a new winter sport and a new way to enjoy our winters. I would highly recommend jumping at this opportunity to learn ice climbing in a safe and enjoyable environment.
And hey, you can't beat the price at $50 (for non members) for a two days of ice climbing instruction. Seriously. I challenge anyone to find a more affordable ice climbing course in North America.
It might come as a surprise to most people but there is actually fantastic ice climbing in New Brunswick due to our unique geology and climate. Many winter sport depend on good snow conditions - skiing, snowshoeing, tobogganing, snowman building, even pond hockey requires just the right ice conditions. Fortunately, there are enough ice climbing areas in New Brunswick that there is always one you can climb. Some are shaded and resist the melting temperatures while others get brilliant sun and are perfect on cold days. Ice climbing can take you into steep ravines in the Fundy Highlands or up exposed cliff faces above the Kennebecasis River, and perhaps best of all to the Fundy Shoreline where you can climb steep ice off the beach.
