There’s a moment on the final day — when the skills are fresh, the ice park is behind you and the trail starts to narrow. You turn the corner and suddenly that frozen waterfall you’ve only ever seen in photos reveals itself… Waiting. And you’re ready for it.
That moment is the reason we created the 3-Day Progressive Ice Course.
This program is designed for climbers seeking total ice immersion. Day 1-2, we sharpen the basics in the @ourayicepark: movement, tool placement, transitions. Then we take what you’ve built into the Ouray and Silverton backcountry and climb multi-pitch ice in the wild. Real routes. Real objectives. Guided by people who climb and work on this ice all winter.
No two climbers show up with the same goals, so no two courses look alike. Whether you’re chasing your first lead, your first multi-pitch, or the mixed and alpine routes that come after, we build it around you.
✅ 3 full days of custom ice progression
✅ Ouray Ice Park + Ouray/Silverton backcountry
✅ Dates available Dec 25 through March
✅ 2:1 – $1,109 per person | 1:1 – $1,579
The ice won’t wait so give us a call today or visit the link in our bio to lock in your three day experience today. 970-318-9828. Let’s climb! ❄️

For @pfaff_anna, warmth is more than comfort. It's safety.
After experiencing severe frostbite, Anna knows firsthand how quickly the cold can change everything. But her story doesn't end there. From recovery to returning to the mountains she loves, Anna reminds us that staying warm isn't just about performance. It's about protecting your ability to keep doing what you love.
We're inspired by athletes like Anna to create innovative products like our heated socks that support safety in the mountains. We’re proud to have Anna as part of the Therm-ic family❤️

Sony Alpha Films presents “Good Luck, Kid” 🏔️📷🚵♂️🧗🏻♂️⛵️⛈️🌈🌌
This film, directed by @Renan_Ozturk and edited by @kael.vb, tells the story behind Alex Honnold (@alexhonnold) and Tommy Caldwell’s (@tommycaldwell) “Devil’s Climb” adventure through the lens of Taylor Shaffer (@taylor._shaffer), the youngest member of the team.
The expedition itself is always only a means to tell a greater story. You have to look even beyond your main characters on almost every project. That’s really hard to do, especially if it’s an assignment where you’re tasked to come back with deliverables that focus on world-class athletes like Alex and Tommy. There’s a lot of things to say about this trip, especially the part with @marina_alaska and the future of the Tongass National Forest.
I think a lot of people just don’t know how far they can push themselves, or the inherent creative power within themselves – or maybe they just didn’t recognize the moment when it’s happening. But for this moment, it was really a big ‘aha’ for me where I just knew that Taylor had it in him, even if he didn’t realize that opportunity was there.

Most photographers have the same dream. Whether if we’re just starting out or have been a professional for decades, if someone asks us “hey what’s your astronaut dream? What’s the biggest thing you can imagine?”I’m 99% sure all of us would say “I wanna shoot a photo story for National Geographic.”
A couple years ago I got to live that dream. What started as a mere coincidence of being in the right place at the right time turned into me landing images in a NatGeo photo story and a Disney Plus documentary. How all that came to be is quite the story. You see, I had been living in my van for the better part of 3 years, climbing, taking pictures, working construction, working at film studios, and just living in the dirt becoming friends with these professional climbers. One climber in particular took me under his wing and put a lot of trust into a random 19 year old kid that didn’t know what he was doing. That was @cannonjtc. Jordan welcomed me in with open arms with an excitement for teaching. I remember being so giddy and eager to learn and just be there. After a handful of years, Jordan and I had gone on a lot of trips and taken a lot of photos together. So one day I get a call from Jordan, “yo yo! I want you to come shoot me try this traverse out in red rocks this weekend” I think about it and respond “that sounds enticing but I literally just got home from a shoot and I only have 3 days off this month and I need to be home and rest.” I hang up the phone. I’m walking into a post office and I’m thinking to myself, Taylor you should go shoot! It’s Jordan, it will be worth it! Ten minutes later I call Jordan back… “hey! I changed my mind I will come take photos!” Next thing I know I’m waking up at 3am the next day to drive out to Las Vegas so I can be there in time to start shooting with Jordan. I get there and we have a great day out in the mountains and we end up sleeping in our vans at @alexhonnold house. We were hanging in Alex’s kitchen and Jordan started spewing to Alex about all the trips we had been on and truly just being a good friend and talking me up. A few minutes goes by and Alex looks at me and goes… (continued in comments)

New @sonyalpha film >> “GOOD LUCK, KID” >> premiering this week @mountainfilm 🙏🏽❤️
The BTS story of the @natgeo “Devil’s Climb” adventure with @alexhonnold @tommycaldwell….but from the POV of @taylor._shaffer, the youngest member of the team.
So many scenes like this one hit the cutting room floor for the @disneyplus film so it was meaningful to bring them back under the context of @taylor._shaffer’s creative transformation on this expedition.
This particular day was one of the more challenging any of us have had on the bushwhack/packraft approach to the Devils Thumb.
At one point, we reached a slime wall that @tommycaldwell backed off and @alexhonnold ended up soloing with a tiny cord waldo had in case of emergency. The team below was clinging to vegetation on the steep slope, are calves getting pumped out of our minds. At one point was lens was too soaked to shoot so I called below for @snackfarmer @mattaleslie to toss one up… just at the moment they moved a few feet left to hand up the gear, alex kicked off a microwave size block that raked through their previous position.
Too many close calls this day to discuss, but the lesson that Taylor learned was the power of the group optimism in these situations that kept us going.
At any rate there’s a lot of things to say about this trip, especially the part with @marina_alaska and the future of the Tongass National Forest but enjoy this tidbit. I hope those of you that make it to @mountainfilm this week get a chance to see it on the big screen and run into @taylor._shaffer and editor @kael.vb in person.

“An ode to the filmmaker” - this was kind of an abandoned edit @Eric_crosland @taylorfreesolo @renan_ozturk @kael.vb and I worked on a few years ago with original music by @lgnnelson.
We were on the fence about posting it since we aren’t necessarily religious but loved the homage to craft and how that related to all the hard working crew we had experienced in our filmmaking adventures.
It was inspired by the Paul Harvey’s “So God Made A Farmer” 1970’s speech (also made into a Super Bowl RAM commercial) that paid tribute the hardworking people who grow our food… and passing something enduring down to the next generation.
At any rate, putting it here before it dies on the @expedition.studios servers. Super fun to look back on all the dedicated teams that bled and laughed and cried to make everything possible.
