Umbrellas Popular at Successful Southern Ontario Ice Fest

The Ontario ice climbing festival took place on Feb. 25 and 26 and lots of keen climbers made the trip. The forecast called for rain and weather delivered a mix of everything. Many ice climbers brought umbrellas to the crag. Check out some photos below and look for more in the next issue of Gripped magazine.

#soicefest had a bit of a wet start to the day. No matter, everyone was super happy to be here and pumped to be climbing.
