About

Michigan Ice Fest “Quietly nestled on the south shore of Lake Superior sits one of the country's largest concentrations of ice. For years it was an undiscovered secret treasure that very few climbers had ever heard of. Then the secret got out. Climbers began to discover what many of us have known for decades: Michigan ice climbing is phenomenal and The Michigan Ice Fest is at the epicenter of it all! The festival, the longest running ice climbing festival in the country, was started by a handful of hearty souls who had a distinct love for the area and were interested in sharing their passion with others. Tales of the pillars of ice spread and a tribe of climbers bonded over cold ice, even colder beer and we became something of a family. Over the years our family of climbers has grown a lot.” MichiganIceFest.com — Excerpt from “An Ice Climber’s Guide to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula”, Old Bull Publishing, 2019. Michigan Ice Fest is wonderful. Exceptionally recommended experience.
