Ice climbing is an offshoot of mountain climbing. Climbing ice started in the early days of mountain climbing as climbers encountered the hard water ice in the gullies and faces of their lofty objectives. With this Ice Climbing experience you will be given an introduction to a very cool sport! The UK’s most challenging ice walls offer 8 or 16 metres of real indoor ice climbing - inside at a constant temperature of -12°C a concave, real ice climbing wall presents a steep challenge for all aspiring adventurers!
