The Valdez Ice Climbing Festival is held in Valdez every winter. The stunning waterfalls of Keystone Canyon serve as just a few of the fabulous climbing venues for this event. World class instructors teach clinics for all ages and levels, including specialty classes for youth, women only, and physical adaptations. The event is organized by the Valdez Adventure Alliance.
The 2022 Ice Climbing Festival is scheduled for February 18-20, 2022.
