Hit the Ice!
Our most popular course! A chance to experience the biggest indoor ice walls in the world as you get vertical on steep ice. This course is intended to provide an introduction to steep ice climbing for either complete novices or those with little experience. Ice Climbing is quite demanding, so students require to be physically fit. The session consists of three hours with two hours on the ice and the surrounding time spent on gearing up, explaining the equipment and reviewing. You will be instructed on rope managment, front pointing technique (using the crampons), how to fit and use the ice axes, coached on body movement, ergonomics and a variety of techniques as you scale simple slopes through to very steep and overhanging ice routes. This session is for Adults (17 and over).
Courses take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 2.45 to 5.15pm just telephone to check availability and make a booking.

Private Indoor Ice Taster
This short session is for those who would just like to give the ice a try. Unlike in the longer sessions there is less focus on coaching and more on just giving clients a try at climbing on ice. After some introductory coaching clients will begin on the easier walls and progress as far as they can in the alloted time. Under 14s may struggle with this length of session unless they are part of a group including adults and the minimum shoe size we have is UK4. For groups of larger than 2 it is beneficial if clients already have experience of belaying. We will accept groups up to 6 in number providing at least 2 people can belay however the amount of climbing you will achieve is reduced and we would recommend booking a full Private Ice Session (see below).
