I live near Ann Arbor and would love if someone could teach me how to ice climb in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Please contact me if anyone is willing to teach me.

Post your query up at the Palnet Rock bulletin board and hang out by the crack there, it tends to attract outdoor climbers. Good luck finding a partner - and then good weather. It's rad up there, but I had more ice climbing trips cancelled b/c of sketchy ice conditions on the macinaw bridge!

Devin, I’m between an ice pillar and a hard place. I’m losing some of my crew to moving, another guy is traveling all the time and doing skimo stuff, and a few others just don’t have the time or our schedules don’t align. So I may be going to the UP for some rope soloing along PRNL NYE weekend if I can’t find anyone cause I’m seriously jonesing right now.  so If you want to come with shoot me a DM

I’m in Bay City and if available I’m in for most any weekend, except 1/22.  Have all my own gear, I’m a top roper mainly.  Have climbed several of the routes along the lakeshore trail.  Planning on heading up the weekend of the 15th.

Sounds good Jeremiah! Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be climbing in New Hampshire next weekend but maybe we could figure something out for The Weeknd before or after icefest. Shoot me a message with your number or I can try to look you up to add you on social media
