CONWAY — This weekend, ice climbers will gather in North Conway for three days of climbing clinics, gear demos, talks “and just real good camaraderie” at the 29th annual Mount Washington Valley Ice Fest, according to Paul McCoy, who is coordinating the event for the International Mountain Climbing School.

Last year's festival was canceled due to the pandemic.
