We are getting stoked for Ice Fest!!! So here is a teaser!

🎁 - Everyone who joins Access Fund and UPCC between February 1 and February 14 (8AM) is in our epic guaranteed-win raffle (prizes last year averaged over $50/prize). Need to be present or have a friend claim your goods.
🎊- Thanks to our friends at Petzl, if you join the Access Fund and UPCC at $75 level, you will also get one of these amazing ultralight x-pac crampon bags with UPCC embroidery ($40 value). Limited to first 50!
🎉- If you join at $50 level, you will receive one of our rad camping mugs!
🎈- we are also hosting the Saturday Night party and will have some killer signed merch in a silent auction!

So, yes, your calculation is correct! If you join or renew at Ice Fest, you are basically joining for free with all the swag you’ll get!

And, if Wilkinson Visual has the room, you’ll also get a free Ale8!

Thank you Michigan Ice Fest for supporting us and thanks Petzl for helping us make this access fund membership drive even bigger!

UPCC KID CLIMB 10/24/26 (10AM - 4PM)

The UPCC is hosting one more UPCC Kid Rock Climbing Trip (before transitioning to ice climbing)!

So, if this is your first time, this is how it works! UPCC has partnered with Michigan Ice Fest to offer a kid developmental climbing program. Michigan Ice Fest typically charges $200/day for rock climbing guiding. However, as they are stoked to support kids learning to climb, they have reduced the cost to $70, AND the UPCC pays half of that. So. . . the cost you pay is only $35/outing, which includes a certified AMGA climbing instructor and all the gear needed!

Spots are limited to 12, so sign up at link below (or in instagram bio)!

Meeting location: Down Wind Sports Marquette

What makes events like this extra, extra rad? South S(UP)erior Climbing Club student Ewan Esposti getting to boulder with Petzl athlete Jon Cardwell ! Not a lot of yoopers can say they have been spotted by a 5.15 climber! So bad ass. And when Ewan wasn’t bouldering on real rock, he found time to win the bouldering competition. 🥇

Too much fun
