Day 3 - Rock and Ice







Today we went to The Ice Factor for a Rest Day. The ice factor has the biggest indoor ice climbing facility in the world.We were fortunate enough to have one and a half hours in the freezer with Mr Starks learning the basics of ice climbing. It was a great experience and really helped to develop our dry skills aswell. After the freezer we used the ice factors dry climbing wall facilities, which included some small and large walls with great features and included an articulted section. Abi and Libby developed their skills on the top rope and George and myself developed our leading skills by practicing our falls and finishing with a tough route. It was a great day and we all finished with some bouldering.
