Ice Factor, The National Ice Climbing Centre

We visited for the beginners Ice Climbing taster, we LOVED IT! Henry our instructor was absolutely amazing, he was a great teacher, really friendly and positive. All of the staff we met were lovely actually! We tried out the climbing wall as well which was pretty good. All in all 10/10 experience we will definitely be back!

We did the 1hr taster session. Great fun and well worth the price. Our instructor Harrison was very friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Even allowing us to run a little over the hour to ensure we all got to try the ‘chimney’ climb.

Great place! The instructors are excellent and very friendly. We had a group of 4 for a 1 hour taster; the hour goes by very quickly but unless you are an experienced ice climber you'll too sore to complete a route. Great alternative to the hills on a rainy day or if winter conditions are poor, just make sure to call a week ahead to avoid disappointment.

Due to bad conditions in the hills we decided to visit for a little indoor ice climbing. Our instructor Hugo was brilliant and we had a great time. Would recommend taster sessions to anyone who does a bit of winter mountaineering and would like a confidence boost or any first timers. As we were relatively competent we were able to do some of the harder routes while Hugo instructed a novice pair, by the end of which they were climbing well and confident. Didnt use cafe but looked clean and nic...

We booked an ice climbing lesson as we had never tried it before. It was a great introduction to Ice Climbing and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Amy was our instructor and she made us feel comfortable and gave really clear instructions and helpful feedback. The place itself looks great, we didn't get the chance to try the bouldering or rock climbing but are likely to do next time we're up that way. Cannot recommend this place enough!
