Ice Climbing

Ice climbing involves ascending an ice face or hard snow formation using specialist climbing equipment including ice axes and crampons. Protective equipment is often quite similar to rock climbing although safety devices are more specific, including ice screws and snow wedges.

InterActive Zip

If a fleece jacket or waterproof jacket has an InterActive zip then a compatible range of jackets can be fixed to the jacket adding another warm layer into your jacket providing a flexible option in variable weather.

 

Internal Divider - Rucksacks

Most large backpacks have double compartments so you can access your sleeping bag or dry clothes without having to empty out the entire contents. If you prefer a single, large compartment, simply unzip or loosen the toggle of the dividing flap.
