WinterFest Q&A
-
Colorado's premier WinterFest features local food trucks + beer, vendor village, kids area, and a thrilling competition of the world's best ice climbers in Longmont!
-
Ice climbing is a climbing discipline that involves ascending routes consisting of frozen water. To ascend, the ice climber uses specialist equipment, particularly double ice axes and rigid crampons.
Dry-tooling is a form of mixed climbing that is performed on bare, ice-free, and snow-free, routes. As with mixed climbing, the climber uses ice axes and crampons to ascend the route, but uses only rock climbing equipment for protection; many modern dry-tooling routes are now fully bolted like sport climbing routes.

The event will take place February 22-23 at Longmont Climbing Collective.
