The experience
What's special
Michigan Ice Fest gathers ice climbers in Munising, Michigan for a week of climbing on the frozen cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore above Lake Superior. Classes run from the beginner Intro to Ice to the advanced Master Anchoring, plus special adventures into the Pictured Rocks backcountry, and evening presentations by well known climbers fill the 1920s Mather Auditorium. The festival started more than 30 years ago with climbers meeting at a bar to swap stories, and its climbing socials and after parties are still at the heart of it. The 2027 festival runs February 10 to 14, and one $80 registration covers the week's events, presentations and after parties.
