Ice climbing: On saturday, January 16, Yukon College Outdoor Pursuit class (PHED225) spent the full day ice climbing at the new ice wall of Mount Sima.In the group there were people who had never climbed before and some who were way more experienced, but everyone had a lot of fun as there are paths for all levels of competence. It's extremely fulfilling to get to the top of the wall, especially when you're a beginner, and you kind of feel like the king of the world! It is also a very safe activity, because you get a training on how to belay, and how to manage the risks.This activity is usually offered every winter session of the Outdoor Pursuit class, and each year, many international students enjoy this very unique course!
