Icefest Events!
All the ice festivals have clinics suited to fit any aspect of the sport you desire to learn more of or try for the first time. Taught by local guides, these folks are not just good, they teach climbing the way it should be, FUN. If you’re not there for the clinics, visit the many excellent sponsors and check out some new gear.
Also the evenings have great food, dry tool comps, slideshows and are great way to meet new people and reconnect with old friends.
Bringing Your "A-Game"
I’m standing below a steep curtain of ice. The route looked ok from the car, though not great, and truth be told, I know I don’t have my “A-Game” this morning.

First Dates
First Dates. We’ve all had them – those initial encounters with someone. Usually, it’s awkward, you’re trying too hard to look cool, you don’t know if offering to pay for the meal is chivalry or chauvinism, and you have no idea where things are going. Other times it just clicks and works out perfectly. Article […]
Freddie Wilkinson is the Man!
“Where is alpine climbing going? What is moving the sport forward? Certainly remote exploratory climbing is always going to be significant, but with new objectives dwindling, enchainments are an obvious challenge.”

Never Stay Home – Erik Eisele
“At 11 a.m. this morning my (non-climbing) plans for the day fell apart. I suddenly had five hours of daylight but no objective or partner. “Perfect,” I thought, “a chance to wrestle with the art of climbing firsthand. An opportunity to forgo a rope in search of focus, to see what I can learn from the experience. Three […]
