With minus temperatures these past few days in December 2009, the 15th annual Bozeman Ice Climbing Festival should have stellar ice, and the temperatures have been rising, which should encourage even the faint-hearted. The first event, the Ice Breaker Pro Invitational Competition, takes place in Bozeman, Montana's Hyalite Canyon, Thursday December 10, 2009.
The Bozeman Ice Festival is a regional and international Bozeman, Montana ice climbing event, promoting ice climbing to everyone--all ages and abilities! Festival organizers encourage participants to learn the neccessary ice climbing skills and safe climbing techniques to enjoy this growing, exhilarating winter sport!
Practice honing your mixed-rock and ice climbing abilities at the Bozeman ice climbing festivities. Organizers will introduce new and old climbers to cutting-edge equipment, clothing and ice climbing gear, and, yes, Montana ice climbing techniques!
Occurs both in and around Bozeman (talks and slide shows) and in the Hyalite Mountains (one of North America's world-class ice climbing spots), which is but a 30-minute drive south of Bozeman, MT.
