What is the International Climbers’ Festival?
Presented by Lander’s local climbing organization, WyoClimbers, we are the longest-running climbers’ festival in the United States. Since its inception in 1994, the Fest has always been about celebrating our local climbing and connecting the climbing community at large. We believe in making the ICF accessible to all climbers, regardless of experience, the grades you climb, or your background. At WyoClimbers’ International Climbers’ Festival, we strive to create a welcoming space for everyone.

Where do ticket sales go?
The International Climbers’ Festival is the main source of revenue (75%) for our non-profit organization, WyoClimbers. Festival sponsorships account for 60% of that festival revenue and cover the expense of the event. Ticket sales, the other 40% of that festival revenue, go directly into supporting the programs and mission of WyoClimbers.
