As well as being the biggest indoor ice climbing facility in the world, The Ice Factor features the UK's largest articulated rock climbing wall and a competition-standard bouldering hall, making it the perfect place to practise, train and learn every conceivable mountaineering skill.

They are designated as the Mountaineering Council for Scotland's Regional Centre of Excellence and the National Centre for Ice Climbing. In addition to some of the best indoor climbing facilities in the country its other main features are specialist outdoor equipment shop, cafeteria and restaurant, Cosy Climbers Bar, drying room, conferencing facilities, medical and climbing courses, sauna and steam room, mobile ice wall and consultancy services on artificial ice structures and climbing walls.
