Ice Climbing

In the spectrum of mountain sports, ice climbing must rank fairly high. The demands on the practitioner can be enormous. Physical strength, endurance, technique and organisation are only part of the story. These skills must be married with sound mountaineering judgement, avalanche and weather awareness, navigation skills and the ability to function to a high level over a long day. But the key point is ?Ice Climbing is tremendous fun!?. Scotland is undeniably the premier location in the British Isles for ice climbing, a fact born out by the number of providers operating in the Scotland during the winter months.
