Both Justin and Marc went to the International World Ice Climbing Competition in Europe this year. We were the only Americans who did the entire tour. You can read more about the tour at Marc’s Blog

We went to Kirov, Russia , Italy , Switzerland and Romania to represent the United States. We met with up two other North Americans for a couple of the events.

Marc has competed in Ouray’s Ice competition for the last several years and has placed in the top 10, but has never been on the podium in Ouray. Justin and Marc took 3rd as a team in the Bozeman, Ice Breakers Open Ice Competition and put up a new route in Hyalite Canyon, “Prodigy 505” M10, WI6+ on site, ground up and during the competition!

Although this trip was exciting and had some great rewards, it was also costly. We thank our sponsors and we hope to have your support next year. If you are in Europe and want to connect with us, please do so. You may reach us easily by e-mail: marc@beverlymountainguides.com or justin@beverlymountainguides.com

We will be back to put on some avalanche courses in February in the southwest once again !
