Equinox Adventures

Overview

Try the ultimate Yukon experience! From start to finish, your Equinox Ice Climbing Adventure will be a day to remember.

Feel the satisfying reward of achieving a summit just 15 minutes from Whitehorse, or spend the day climbing a frozen waterfall in the Yukon’s stunning backcountry.

At our ice climbing location, we go over basic techniques including pro tips on how to swing the axe and position your feet. Your guide will assist you in tying into the rope and will safely belay you as you ascend the ice.

Then it’s up to you! You set the pace and the level. Our guides are experienced in leading groups of all ages and abilities. Our goal is for you to have a memorable, enjoyable, and safe ice climbing experience. We rest often so there are plenty of opportunities for snacks, hot drinks, and photos.

We run ice climbing tours for small groups of 4-8 people as well as custom tours for school groups and corporate events.

No climbing experience is necessary. We love showcasing this unique sport to veteran climbers and newcomers alike!

Unique and Fantastic Experience

We had the pleasure to take part in the Equinox ice wall climb and zip line excursion and it was one of our best experiences while visiting Whitehorse. They wall is right next to the Takhini Hot Springs. Our guide that day was Chris who is the owner and he was amazing. Very helpful and extremely friendly. We felt safe in everything we did.
The ice wall climb can be challenging but Chris sets you up for success. In between climbs he had warm tea for us to enjoy as we relaxed. He was very informative about not only ice wall climbing but with any other questions we had about the area. After we were done we went down the zip line across the frozen lake. The view over the lake is pretty amazing and when you zip line down it you get a great rush.
Again this was a great part of our trip and we felt like we did something that we would be able to do few other places.
Highly Recommended!

I first climbed with Equinox three years ago when I signed up for a private Intro to Ice Climbing class at the ice tower as something fun to do on a Yukon holiday. I've returned each winter since, bringing friends to climb the ice towers and hiring Chris as a private guide for back country ice climbing. They offer great instruction for kids and adults and there are several beautiful local ice climbing areas for day trips. They have rental equipment available.

Great experience in Yukon!

We spent 3 hours ice climbing. First time for all of us. Equinox team is very professional and friendly. We spent a very good time climbing with them and learning about their passion. I would go back again for sure!

Great time for Families!

Just spent and excellent afternoon with Equinox climbing the towers at Mt. Sima, Whitehorse. We were three kids ages 10, 12, and 15. Adults had a hoot watching, this time. Kids were all busy doing something for the whole two hours. A great introduction to ice climbing and ziplining!
