we’ve got you

what happens in a taster?

Our Ice Climbing instructors are highly qualified in their field having progressed from traditional rock climbing onto winter climbing. The will work with you to progress your skills and confidence, and to help you achieve your full potential on the wall.

As part of your taster, you will be issued with boots, crampons, ice axes and a harness/helmet for the duration of your session. All participants will climb ice slabs and learn to belay. Your instructor will coach you on the basic knowledge needed for ice climbing, emphasising fun and enjoyment rather than skill building.

Please note: warm clothing and gloves are essential. Clothing hire is available on site and gloves can be bought at Snow Factor reception. Helmets must be worn and are provided free of charge.
