Mountainfest
Mountainfest, the ultimate celebration of Adirondack ice & snow, is a great opportunity to test the waters with ice climbing - jump in to a “new to ice climbing” 101 course, develop new skills & step up your game with steep ice and mixed climbing clinics, or test your mettle with a "thin ice" clinic. There are opportunities to join clinics on alpine touring, backcountry skiing, winter travel & avalanche awareness.
Whether you come for clinics, gear and clothing demos, or adventure on your own - make sure to check out the evening entertainment. Our guest athletes always promise entertaining presentations & offer a chance to win big with raffle prizes and free swag giveaways!
2025 Clinic information now available & open for registration!
Guest Athlete
Dane Steadman
Dane hails from Cody, Wyoming, where he guides rock & ice with Wyoming Mountain Guides.
Join us Saturday evening for tales of his recent first ascent of Yashkuk Sar (6,667m) in the Pakistani Karakoram - the 2,000m-long route up a difficult & aesthetic spur in Pakistan is being called "one of the best expeditions of 2024."
"Also, I hope that by exposing more people to climbing and mountains, that will instill in them more of an appreciation and respect for wilderness, and in turn lead them to value it, respect it, and stand up for it in their own lives.”
