Let's say I drove my skinny ass down there and got a hotel room. I've got tools, ropes, crampons, a partner, a list of routes to do, and a cooler full of PBR.
What exactly am I getting for my $35?
Just a hypothetical, that weekend is generally reserved for my first trip back to the creek but I like to think that I might be open to change.

Your $35.00 covers all of the below. It's definitely a smaller, more grassroots festival than say, Ouray. We could hope for that many people, but we just have not got that big yet. Oh, and rooms are generally cheap. I believe the Rainbow Motel used to charge 29 bucks for ice climbers during festival. I have not yet had a chance to check their rates this year, but the businesses in town are pretty ice climber friendly.

The Monster athletes are working on getting some made up. I don't think they will be the same as the ones they wore in Ouray, but they may be similar. They are still trying to figure out how to get them all printed and what Monster wants.
