Ouray Ice Festival 2008

THURSDAY, 23 AUGUST 2007

Every January we meet to teach, learn and be one with the ice.

The Ouray Ice Festival, to be held January 9-13, 2008, is an eclectic gathering of ice climbers, gear manufacturing exhibitors, and ice climbing voyeurs simply thrilled to watch at a safe distance from the precipitous edges. The festival was first held in January of 1996 and is promoted by ice climbing pioneer Jeff Lowe. The festival is now widely recognized as the premier gathering of its kind.

Events over this incredible weekend include various climbing clinics from beginning to advanced, an opportunity to check out and try the latest and greatest gear and catch up with some of the world’s most famous and experienced climbers. During the Festival, we offer one of the best competition routes that continues to challenge the best climbers in the world. Plus we are always adding or changing things up.

The Festival isn’t just for climbers – we also have gear auctions, film and slide show presentations and we’ve added a Kids Climbing Wall away from the gorge to get the little tykes started off right.
