Sandstone Ice Festival vs. Christmas Shopping for Aunt Evelyn? Hmmm…
December 12th, 2008 | by Andy Published in Camping, Winter Sports | 9 Comments
We've got your excuse to cancel all your weekend holiday shopping errands: Pack up your pitons and head up north for the Sandstone Ice Festival.
Sandstone? What for, you ask? How’s about ice-climbing in the rock quarry, for starters? Add to that, clinics on skijoring and winter camping, and a presentation by climber Dean Einerson on his Denali adventures. Just as BWCA ‘camping trips’ actually encompass numerous activities like paddling, hiking and fishing; festivals like this are proving to folks that winter camping is all about way more than just keeping your arse alive. This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet… or snowy, or whatever; although festival organizer Tony Vavricka tells me that a basic working knowledge of rock-climbing is recommended for the ice-climbing clinics.
I should add that new and notable this year, is lighted night climbing; I predict a few sweet flickr sets to come out of those sessions. On belay!
