Thank you for waiting. Ms. Junko is back from the World Cup!
The introduction to dry tooling in February will be held on February 8th (Wed) with Ms. Junko!
Please come and join us! You might even hear about the World Cup!
Also, on March 26th (Sun), we will be holding a 【Spring Dry Tooling Festival】 hosted by Ms.Junko and Ns.Haruko.
Let’s see how you like it.
Dry tooling is climbing using ice axes and crampons to climb rock walls and artificial walls.
There are many climbers who enjoy dry tooling as a competition and incorporate it as training for ice climbing and alpine climbing.
This course is for those who want to start dry tooling, those who have experienced dry tooling several times but want to learn from the basics properly.
I use an ax to climb, but don’t worry if you don’t have your own ax, I will rent it for you.
Even if you are new to Beta drywall, please take this course.
If you want to use Beta drywall, please take this course first
