We’re always looking for new styles of climbing to try out, and yesterday we got the chance in Glasgow!

13 keen climbers got in the mini bus and off we went to Snow Factor. You’d think we’d travelled out of Scotland and entered a Winter Wonderland, and it was definitely not September anymore.

Cold or warm, no weather stops the NRCC, and up the wall our climbers went!

As well as climbing, some of us took the opportunity to hit the slopes for some skiing and snowboarding. No point wasting such a beautiful, snowy day!

With frozen hands and wet socks we got back in the mini bus, all ready for bouldering at Alien Rock the day after, once our forearms stop hurting from all the axe whacking needed to scale the ice walls.
