AKU Main Boot Sponsor For Ice Factor

By Jon

AKU is to be the main boot sponsor for the Ice Factor indoor ice climbing facility at Kinlochleven and the instructors there will be supplied with AKU Edge boots - below.

The National Ice Climbing Centre is the world's biggest indoor ice wall and also houses the UK's highest articulated rock climbing wall, making it an ideal choice for when the weather turns seriously nasty in the western Highlands or simply as a great way of learing the basics of walking or climbing.

As well as supplying the instructors with boots, the brand will be featured in their course leaflets, on the Ice Factor web site and on a banner in the ice wall section.
