Vertical Chill opened in December 2005 and is situated inside The North Face Store, Manchester. It is a refrigerated unit running through the shop's 2 floors. Inside at a constant -12°C an 8 metre concave real ice climbing wall presents a steep challenge to both novice and accomplished climbers.

With a number of different routes to suit all difficulty levels including pillars and a overhanging ice section to provide a stiff challenge. We also have an overhanging drytooling box for those who want to end their session really tired. When booking make us aware of you skill level and we can set routes to challenge you.

Disclaimer: All participants are subject to an assesment by our staff that they are fit or strong enough to climb. Over 50's and under 16's please contact us before booking to discuss this and avoid any potential disappointment. At present there is a lower age limit of 14 years old - which is also subject to climbing experience and physical development.
