Tony

Tony, a classic WI3+ route at the 'Kids - Ice Age Wall', offers a fantastic introduction to ice climbing. The wall itself is vibrant and often filled with climbers of all ages, creating an encouraging and inviting atmosphere. The ascent begins with a gentle slope, allowing you to warm up and practice precise crampon work. As you climb higher, the ice gradually steepens, demanding more deliberate axe placements and a focus on balance. There are often interesting ice formations like small bulges or 'cauliflower ice' that add to the fun. Reaching the top is incredibly rewarding, with a sense of accomplishment and often great views. It's a perfect route to build confidence and refine technique before tackling harder grades.
