We are super excited about the quantity and quality of the ice going into the festival. Should be great climbing conditions and pleanty of ice for folks to get on. If you are coming up to the event for the first time, be sure to stop by headquarters to get the local beta on climbs that clinics will not be on. Below is a list of climbs that will be taken for clinics during the fest. Thank you in advanced for keeping off these climbs during the days of the fest.

Once again there is great news for ice making this week! Warmer day time temps combined with cold overnights mean these climbs are only going to get bigger!
