This is the first appearance in BETA. First of all, my profile.

Born in Tokyo in 1995
Climbing instructor, route setter
arcteryx ambassador
He started bouldering when he was 10 years old, and was active as a training athlete in Tokyo when he was 14-16 years old.
He immigrated to Canada for about 5 years when he was 20 years old, and started route setting while living in Canada.
He is a JMSCA C-class route setter in Japan, gaining experience setting routes in official tournaments including the World Cup.

Many people may have seen it on SNS. Mei, who is petite, seems to value balance, delicate moves, and other elements that aren’t just reach or power.

Please look forward to it, little ones!

Enjoy, everyone! !

[Dry Touring] #8 Dojo held on 1/16 (Tue.)

Beta climbing gym course Kai Dry Tooling Dojo


The Dora-Two Dojo, which started in June, will be held every month due to its popularity! !

However, as he will be competing in the Ice Climbing World Cup in Korea this month, Sazuo, aka “Ero Gappa”, who is well known for his dry touring top rope sessions, will be in charge instead.

Each month, a theme is given by the Lord, and we train according to the theme.

The first Dojo of 2024 will be held on 16 (Tue) in January!
From 20:00 to 22:00, you can come and go as you please. You can come at a time that is convenient for you, and of course you can leave early.

Participation is limited to experienced people.
