Build My Own FeedIce Climbing Festival Kandersteg 2010
The next Ice Climbing Festival in Kandersteg is coming up and we hope to see you there as well! The Festival will take place from the 8th-10th of January, 2010 at our new event location at the ‘Seilpark Kandersteg' across the Gemmi Lodge. The rock wall will be iced especially for the competition and the workshops. The ice already looks very promising and will get even better if the nights stay cold and the days shady.
Featured speakers will be the legendary Saxon climber Bernd Arnold on Saturday and Slovak alpinist Dodo Kopold on Sunday. Expect some gripping and humorous presentations!
Saturday's competition will be the festival's highlight, and as in years past, a world-class line-up of ice climbers. After the competition, there will be a party at the Gemmi Tavern featuring a live band. On Sunday, top climbers on the World Cup circuit will be offering clinics for beginners and advanced climbers alike, and all the necessary gear will be provided free of charge at the sponsors' test center.
The main sponsors of the Kandersteg Ice Climbing Festival are Arc'teryx, Bächli Bergsport, Black Diamond, Lowa and Nokia, while sponsoring partners are Kandersteg Tourismus, Destination Lötschberg, Sterling Rope and Vertical and Klettern magazines.
