At this year’s Michigan Ice Fest, Saturday’s presentations promise to be a highlight as legendary climbers Mark Wilford and Conrad Anker take the stage. A long time supporter of our event, Wilford is known for his bold, minimalist style and decades of groundbreaking ascents—brings a wealth of hard-earned wisdom and stories from some of the world’s most demanding alpine terrain.

Anker, one of the most influential mountaineers of his generation, will captivate audiences with insights drawn from historic expeditions, including his leadership on major Himalayan and Antarctic climbs. Together, these two icons offer an inspiring evening that you won’t want to miss!
