For those who are interested in experiencing the sport of ice climbing for themselves, the Michigan Ice Fest is the perfect opportunity. The annual event is unique to other ice festivals because most of the participants are new to climbing! Watch as Cheryl, a beginner climber, celebrates her first ascent in the wilderness of northern Michigan.
