Mountainfest

February 14–16, 2026

Guide ADK is thrilled to participate in another epic Mountainfest! The Adirondacks’ ultimate celebration of ice and snow, this is the perfect event for those looking to improve their winter ice climbing and backcountry skills, or anyone who wants to try it for the first time!

While we hope you’ll join us for our Intro to Ice Climbing clinic on Monday, we also encourage you to attend events throughout the long weekend. We’ll be there celebrating ice and snow with our friends, and we’d love to see you, too!

THIS CLINIC IS NOW FULL! Reach out about a 1-on-1 experience!

8:00AM–3:30PM — Meet at Mountainfest Vendor Village

Appropriate for beginners. Previous climbing experience is okay, but not required.  This clinic will meet at the Mountainfest vendor village where guides will go over equipment and discuss how to pack for a day of ice climbing. The group will then head out to climb at a fun and low stress venue. Participants may choose to take this Intro clinic multiple times and will benefit from plenty of individual feedback and coaching throughout the day. 

Each participant will receive a free pair of Outdoor Research gloves!
