Yesterday I headed to Covent Garden to ice climb on the indoor wall there.
What a crazy sport! I can't believe how physical it is - you really have to put in some effort to get the axes and crampons in, and then it takes some getting used to trusting them to then support you as you climb up.
Thank god the helmets have visors, coz I just completely covered myself in ice chips, and chipped away half the climbing wall trying to get my axes in.
I think I got about a metre above the ground the entire session! But it was definitely good fun.
The footage should be amusing, mainly because the guy who was filming me decided to tip the camera up 90 degrees like you would if you were taking a long still photo! So on all the climbing footage I just look like I'm lying across the screen!!
Oh dear :)
