Ice Climbing is for Girls…

January 1, 2009 Andy Leave a comment Winter Sports


… and these ‘girls’ have wayyyy more mettle than I can boast of. They’re just some of the hardy souls who attended the Sandstone Ice Festival last month. Ice climbing in the quarry was the main attraction, and it didn’t stop at nightfall, either. Thanks go out to Kirious for sharing a whole whopping Flickr set of these with us all!

Happy New Year from UpNorthica

January 1, 2009 Andy 1 Comment Resources

We wish everyone the very best and the very outdoorsiest 2009.

Stick around, we have some fun changes in store for UpNorthica. We’ve always tried to fill a specific niche by providing a daily slice of Boundary Waters culture, whether in the form of gear reviews, interviews, volunteer opportunities, how-to’s, recipes and more. This year we’re wanting to do more and better, which includes more ways of involving you, happy camper.

Would you like to be a contributing blogger for UpNorthica.com? Drop us an email with a few writing samples (perhaps from your own blog): andy(at)upnorthica dot com. We’d love to hear from you.

Here’s to 2009!
