100% recommend. A fun, adventurous day out! - Our guide was Antonin, he was very knowledgeable, encouraging and easy to get on with. We got lucky and had a private tour as no one else was booked onto the same booking. Antonin gave us guidance and continued to help develop our technique with each climb and gave us challenges to help improve whilst we were on the wall. Whether you have climbed before or not we recommend the tour and the company, the day couldn’t have ran smoother and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Don’t worry about being too cold if you choose to do the tour in March, the weather was fine and there’s a fire and the company also bring extra jackets in case it’s too cold for you. All in all the day was worth the money and we had a fantastic time, the accomplishment of reaching the top of the wall never fades!

Bucket list adventure! ✨️ - We had an amazing time on the half day adventure! We got to do two ice climbs each (we were in a group of three which is the Max number per guide). The first climb was a steep learning curve, but the second felt much easier! We also had some great instructions as we were climbing from our guide! Even though it went for about 3.5hrs, we were a bit short on time (with two people I think this would be less of an issue). Overall we have a fantastic time and really enjoyed this new experience (the adrenalin is still wearing off!). Highly recommend! And our guide Inessa was great!
