The International Climbers’ Festival was established in 1994 by climbers for climbers. Now in its 26th year of existence, over 600 climbers annually descend upon the small western town of Lander, Wyoming for the celebration of climbing and the climbing lifestyle. Climbers from all around the globe have made the voyage to Lander to celebrate climbing, listen to great music, enjoy friendly competitions, drink beer and climb together.
A lot has changed in the climbing world since that summer in 1994 when the Festival began. Here in Lander, hundreds of additional routes have been developed, new crags have been discovered, and there are more great places to eat or get a beer. But a lot has stayed the same, too. Wild Iris Mountain Sports is still the one-stop shop for info and gear for Wyoming climbing. The Lander Bar is still the place to grab a burger and cool off with a brew after a day of climbing. City Park still offers free camping. And Lander is still a fantastic place to climb, meet friendly people, enjoy the outdoors, and perhaps stay a while.
