Duluth ice & mixed fest

Duluth Ice & Mixed Fest

Each Winter, the Duluth Climbing Coalition hosts climbers from around the Midwest as we share in our mutual passion of climbing ice. The ice, or sometimes lack thereof, in Quarry Park makes for technically challenging lines that are more suited to experienced climbers and alpinists. However, past ice fests have offered more than just climbing! We typically try to run winter clinics (climbing, camping, etc.) and have forums for discussions and seminars on ice climbing.
