With a week of colder temperatures, we are pretty stoked to report that a good portion of the classic pillars have formed and we are experiencing some pretty darn good conditions! This weekend saw many visiting climbers searching out along the lakeshore finding that pillars that were not formed last weekend had finally reached the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With this phenomenal forecast it looks like almost all of our climbs will be in by next weekend and we should start to see the lake start to form some ice…..hopefully by Ice Fest that would mean access to Grand Island!

 

The Michigan Ice fest Guides have openings for next weekend if you or a group would like a specialized guided trip of the park or if you are just in need of some rentals remember our store is located at 112 Elm in Munising and are now open all weekend long!
