UK Winter Climbing
Club members are all too keen to get out and play in the
snow and ice. Conditions are everything in winter climbing so flexibility
is the key - being able to take a day off work really helps! 
Though
occasionally the weather helps out and the best conditions coincide with
the weekend.
The best place is obviously Scotland, either East or West coast, Ben Nevis or Cairngorms are the popular areas. As well as the ad-hoc chase-the-snow trips, the club normally has at least three scheduled trips to Scotland during the winter - there should be snow on at least one of them!
The Lake District usually comes into condition sometime most 
winters
(2006/7 was the exception) and day trips, leaving at a silly time in the
morning, can be really rewarding.
Ad hoc trips to both these areas, as well as North Wales, are common if the conditions are favourable.
Indoor Ice Climbing
The Ice Factor
at Kinlochleven is about the only place now, great for when the weather
is rubbish in Glencoe, but then of course it will be fully booked!
Foreign Ice
Norway
and the Alps give reliable ice every year. YAC members have been to the
classic areas of La Grave in the French Alps and Rjukan in Norway, for a
few days to a week.
A great place to hone the technical ice skills in a safe environment, but
expensive and cold!
