Welcome to the Canmore Ice Climbing Festival
December 5 - 7, 2008 The Canmore Ice Climbing Festival is now into it's tenth year! Highlights from the 9th Annual Arc'teryx CICF
Yam and a crew of volunteers built, supervised and supported the ice climbing wall in Centennial Park right in the middle of Canmore. There were also various specialty clinics that ranged from the "Intro to Basic Ice" weekend to the "Advanced Mixed Clinic" with the man who wrote the book on the sport, Sean Isaac. Over 250 people tried the public ice climbing wall over the weekend. A particularly vivid image was recounted by Andrew Stevens from Yam. "One afternoon a school bus pulled up and people poured out. They went straight to the ice wall - kids, adults, families, and they just started climbing! It was impressive!" As one climber enthused, "I loved being in the mountains during the Canmore Ice Festival. There were lots of ice climbers and there was a sense of celebration everywhere you went. The weekend slide shows were standing room only, which reflects on the caliber of Will Gadd, Sean Isaac and Barry Blanchard, the presenters. Even though it was really cold during the weekend, it didn't take away from the warmth of the festival." Patricia M. - Toronto The Canmore Ice Climbing Festival is definitely a 'must attend' event to put in your yearly December calendar. We look forward to having you join us in 2008!
