Just posting this now for all to see, there will be a film crew in Munising starting the weekend of the 21st and will be filming in the area for the following 7 days. They will be set up on the Dryerhose one or two days, and possibly the curtains one other day and then else where throughout the park.

When I know exact locations and times, I will post here to keep the community up to date. I do know that when they do set up for the day they will be humbly asking other climbers to please climb elsewhere for the time being so they can get there shot.

If you have any questions, please post here and I will answer them as soon as possible. Please spread the word if you know of anyone planning on heading up to check this thread before heading out. I do not want to disrupt anyone's day, and can direct you to a number of other climbs in the area if needed.

Thanks,
Jon.

The IMAX crew will be filming tomorrow again at the East Channel curtains on Grand Island.

Thanks,

Just learned that the IMAX crew will be camped out on Dairyland for the next three days.(Tue-Thurs) It would be cool and appreciated by them if they could have the opportunity to film it without anyone else on it and keep it a clean shot.

Thanks,
J

The studio above is making a film ~climbing in the National Parks~ (working title) Conrad Anker is the talent along with his son Max and two other people. This will be the winter segment of the film, that was also shot on Devils Tower, in Parks in Utah and California. It will be released national in early 2016 (feb-march) in IMAX theaters.

So far the climbers on the crew are loving Munising and all of the ice that is up this way (actually blown away by the uniqueness of the place) and the crew (most from S. Cal) are OVER the cold and the wind and the snow and the COLD and the ice and the freezing hands and feet ;)

Thx.
JJ

Group of us coming up this weekend, where do we need to stay away from or will they be done by then? Also, looking for an update on Strawberry Daze wasn't in a couple of weeks ago, thought you might know. Thanks!

Saturday they will be filming HMR, the other 150+ ice climbs are looking good. Strawberry looked very close to being "in", but that was from a distance, I didn't get close enough to it the other day.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
