Following on from the success of events in years gone by we are delighted to be holding The Ice Factor's first 'Festival of Ice'. The event is designed to be a weekend dedicated to the weird and wonderful world of winter climbing. With competition, lectures and master classes it is set to be a fantastic weekend.
On the Saturday 2nd November we will be holding a Drytooling Competition which will be held here at the centre utilising the indoor walls, outdoor climbing tower and of course the indoor ice wall.
That evening we will be hosting a lecture given by Simon Yearsley about new routing in Scotland after which there'll be a party here in the centre.
On Sunday there will be a series of Masterclasses held by Dave MacLeod. Dave will also be giving a lecture in the afternoon.
Aside from being about fun and sore fore arms the event is going to be held in aid of Climbers Against Cancer with a portion of the entry fee going directly to the charity.
Entry for the competition will be £25 (£15 entry fee, £10 to Climbers Against Cancer).
This has the makings of an amazing event and we hope that you'll come and get involved whether it be competing, spectating or attending a lecture.
