The thrill of the chill – Scouts scale a massive wall of ice

Inside the January-February 2026 Issue of Scout Life: Scouts take on a massive 70-foot frozen wall in Central Colorado!

In this video, we head to Camp Alexander, where an “ice farming” process turns rock into a vertical ice climbing challenge. See how these Scouts trade their hiking boots for crampons and ice axes to conquer the cold climb.

From learning safety to finding the courage to reach the summit, this is what Scouting America’s adventure looks like.
