KENDAL MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL $15 | 7:30 P.M. EMERSON CRAWFORD THEATER

Over 40 years ago, in October 1980, the Kendal Mountaineering Film Festival held its first event, promising mountain art, seminars, films, photography and - importantly - “two bars”.

As the event grew in stature and popularity it attracted greater audience numbers, plus a veritable ‘who’s who’ from the world of climbing and mountaineering. Yvon Chouinard, Reinhold Messner, Catherine Destivelle, Fred Beckey, Barry Blanchard, Lynn Hill, Jeff Lowe, Tommy Caldwell, Chris Sharma, Ueli Steck and Will Gadd are just a few of those who have stood on the Kendal stage. And in film, the Festival became renowned as a launchpad and international showcase for mountain and outdoor film, premiering or screening such classics as The Bat and the Wicked, Five Days One Summer, Hard Grit, Touching The Void and Free Solo.

Today, the ‘Kendal’ is recognized as the main annual social event for outdoor enthusiasts in the UK, and we’re excited to share an evening with the Kendal crew.

Join us for dinner and an evening with longtime climber and coach, Marcus Garcia as he shares “Beyond the Climb”, a short film exploring relationships that span generations of climbers.

Mentorship has been a driving force in Marcus Garcia’s life’s journey. This film and presentation showcases the far-reaching impact it has on generations of climbers.

The effects ripple out, touching lives in ways we can’t even imagine. It’s about coming full circle, learning from our challenges as climbers, and using those lessons to make a difference beyond the mountain.

ON-ICE CLINICS For twenty-seven years, Hyalite Canyon on-ice clinics have been the heart and soul of the Bozeman Ice Festival.

Our clinics take place in beautiful Hyalite Canyon just a few miles from downtown Bozeman. One of the premier locations in America, Hyalite provides a unique wilderness experience in the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Our clinics are the perfect opportunity to safely gain experience and learn from the best in the business.

After a big day of climbing in Hyalite be sure to swing by the Black Diamond Advanced Base Camp, located in the Chisolm parking area.

There will be a shuttle provided from Chisolm to the Grotto Falls trailhead.

Hang out, swap stories, talk gear, and celebrate another great day in the mountains.

Aetherm™ pushes the limits of what is possible with insulation, creating a new performance benchmark. “The unique 3D structure of Aetherm™ insulation provides unparalleled performance characteristics not found in other synthetics,” comments Dr. Matt Fuller, Product Engineer at Mountain Equipment.

Multiple strands of 100% recycled polyester fibres are interlocked within a reflective layer to provide exceptional warmth.

Aetherm™ provides a feeling like no other when worn, with a best-in-class warmth-to-weight, loft and packability.

CLINICS IN HYALITE Our full day clinics include demos of the best technical gear on the planet including boots, crampons, axes, harnesses, helmets and clothing, 5+ hours of on-ice instruction by world-class climbers, and raffle tickets for the industry’s best gear giveaways.

CLINIC LOCATIONS The Bozeman Ice Festival holds full day clinics in Hyalite Canyon at the following areas: Genesis (G1 Wall)

Amphitheater

Mummy II & Scepter

Unnamed Wall

Hyalite Canyon has another 200+ ice and mixed routes within two miles of the parking lot for the climbing community to explore and enjoy all that Hyalite provides.

All clinics meet at and depart from the Grotto Falls Trailhead.

All participants should plan on parking at the Chisolm Parking lot. Shuttles will be provided from the Black Diamond Equipment Advanced Base Camp at the Chisolm Parking Lot to Grotto Falls. Clinics generally run from 8:00am to 3:30pm.

Clinics are sold out—so what can I do?

Every year there are a handful of no-shows or last second cancellations. Even if you are on a waiting list, please check in with us at the Emerson Ballroom the night before you want to participate in Hyalite Canyon. Local guide service Montana Alpine Guides also runs courses during the ice fest and all winter. Contact them at www.mtalpine.com.

Swing some tools, make friends, try the latest and greatest gear, learn something new, and even change your life.

RETURNING DEMO GEAR Any demo gear you’ve checked out needs to be returned in the Hyalite parking area as soon as you are done climbing for the day.

This is the best way for us to ensure the next group has access to the same great gear as you. Warm up in the Black Diamond Advanced Base camp and be sure to bring extra boots and warm jackets once you return your demo gear.

We understand there are unexpected challenges or occassionally absent minds. But if gear is not returned to the Emerson Ballroom by 6:00pm every night, you will be charged a $50 late fee.

Fail to return the gear by 7:00am the morning following your clinic and you will be charged the full retail price for the gear on your Rental Agreement Form.

ON ICE INFO How do I get to my clinics in Hyalite Canyon?

Parking is very limited in Hyalite Canyon.

We strongly encourage you to carpool from Bozeman or the Park and Ride lot just 1.5 miles from the end of the road.

Carpool information and sign ups can be found in the Emerson Ballroom each night.

Driving Directions From Main Street, go south on Highland Boulevard (near the Western Heritage Inn) or Willson Ave (one block from the Emerson) to Kagy Boulevard. Turn right (west) on Kagy and continue to 19th Street and turn left (south).

Continue south on 19th to the edge of the mountains and the Hyalite Canyon Road (left) a half mile past an obvious 90-degree turn.

Follow the Hyalite Canyon Road for approximately 12 miles going around the reservoir to the Chisolm Parking Lot.

What time do I leave in the morning?

The on-ice classes gather in Hyalite at 8:30am every day.

We recommend you leave downtown Bozeman no later than 7:15 a.m. with 7:00 a.m. preferred. The road can be treacherous, and it is advised you take your time getting there.

Accidents due to late folks rushing are not uncommon.

The road is usually plowed (but not sanded due to watershed concerns) so a 2-wheel drive vehicle may be passable, but not advised. If unsure of the driving or conditions, please allow extra time.

Our story began at the foot of the walls, then, we continued deep in the garage with friends in the Chamonix region. Passionate about mountains, climbing, and skiing. We pursued the idea of seeking to improve our equipment, with a “back to basics” approach brought us together. Practitioners, we made ourselves demanding, seeking to develop ideas and concepts, and then the first BLUE ICE products. We didn’t know where we were going yet, but we were determined to create the products we really needed and dreamed of. us.blueice.com

AVALANCHE SAFETY

Approaches to some ice climbs in Hyalite require climbers to cross through or underneath avalanche paths. It is important to be aware of current snowpack conditions and consequences of being caught in an avalanche.

Even small slides are deadly in this terrain, and have injured and killed climbers before.

To get the most up-to-date snowpack info: • Get the update on latest conditions at Thursday evening’s events at the Emerson • Visit www.mtavalanche.com for daily snowpack updates BOZEMAN ICE FESTIVAL 2024

Rab’s roots.

In the late 1970s, a revolution was brewing in Britain’s industrial heartland. Confronted with strikes and power cuts, local people responded by escaping into the nearby Peak District. The region quickly became a hotbed for climbers and adventurers.

Today, we are ceaseless in our commitment to Rab’s exacting standards and pioneering spirit. We find inspiration in the mountains and craft products that bring out the mountain person in everyone. Nothing fancy or over-engineered – just honest, hard-working pieces you’d rather repair than replace.

There’s only one way to reach the top. You try and try again. There’s always failure. You learn from your past mistakes. Train some more. Gain experience. Then you try harder.

Fail and fall again. You take a beating. Get hurt. And keep coming back. But in the end, when you pull past the point of no return, steady your breath, and stare down what’s between you and success, you know what you have to do. Commit. We know what it takes. At Black Diamond, we’re committed to catching the falls along the way.
