Indoor Ice Climbing Intros


Back indoors again, but this time training slightly differently. I'm going to be taking a small team of students on an Ice Climbing trip to Norway in a few weeks, so today was spent doing some preparation. We had a bouldering session, but instead of holding on with our hands, we used some ice axes that had been adapted to 'hook' over the climbing holds! Very strenuous, but great for technique. 

Also, as we'll be operating in temperatures below freezing, we practiced some 'gloved dexterity' skills, such as belaying and tying knots without taking our gloves off!
