One of the best ways to improve your skill set as a mountaineer is to learn how to ice climb. It’s a good time to start thinking about signing up for your local ice festival! Ice festivals offer an affordable way to try ice climbing and improve your winter climbing skills. ⁣⁣I am so excited to go to the @michiganicefest this winter, talking about activism and sharing some tools to be an informed voter. I’ve always wanted to ice climb in the Midwest and I can’t wait to take some clinics, climb some pitches and hang with some cool people. I hope to see you at Michigan Ice Fest. If you can’t make it there, be sure to find and support an ice festival near you!
