Chris_Whitehead ' I Suppose ice climbing indoors at least give you a chance to have a go in relative safety, after all it's not exactly sometyhing you are just going to take to as a complete novice when outdoors. Don't suppose it's much of spectator sports indoors - a bit too cold perhaps!'

Adventure_lad_1 'Hi Chris - the ice climbing walls I have been to all have windows in to allow spectators to watch all the action without getting cold! Ice-climbing is awesome fun but like you said an indoor wall is a very safe environment in which to learn as it can be a bit daunting outdoors for the first time!'

adam_s 'I learny to kayak in a swimming pool and it certainly allows you to gain some confidence. I had a bit of a fear about rolling and not being able to get out but once you've built up your confidence you're more raring to have a go outside. '
