It is icy fun for enthusiastic climbers.
The Lillooet Ice Climbing Festival is back on Jan. 27 and 28.
This non-profit event is intended to be a gathering of like-minded ice-climbing enthusiasts in one of the premier ice destinations on the west coast of Canada," reads the event description.
The weekend starts with a meet-and-greet gathering at the Lillooet Brewery.
Both days offer a Vendor Village and gear demos.
There are clinics on both days. For example, on Saturday, there is an Ice for beginners session, a clinic on Steep ice with renowned alpinist Jon Walsh and a Women's Only Ice Climbing Clinic with mountain guide Julia Niles.
The weekend also includes a slide show, speakers and a dance party.
Tickets are available for $10.
