With brutally cold temperature engulfing the entire Midwest, I thought it would be a lot colder then it was today. The good news is that conditions are excellent and we are experiencing one of the best ice seasons in decades! Shore bouldering in Marquette has formed but could use a little more shelf ice to provide better access.

Some Michigan Ice Fest staff hit up Munising trying to get tuned up for their road trip out to Ouray. The Dyer Hose is in amazing shape as well as the seldom formed Amphitheater. We also have a report of some folks that headed into Twin Falls and it was in excellent shape as well.

Things are really starting to shape up for Ice Fest….you won’t want to miss this one as all of the major formations will be in and access to Grand Island is almost a certainty!
