【Dry Tooling】＃22　Toprope Session held on 10/26（THU）Daytime 14:00～　Nighttime 19:30～

2023年10月20日

This is a session for dry touring experienced people.
Experienced doesn’t have to be good. If you have taken “Introduction to dry tooling“, you are an “experienced person”.

It’s also the only chance to vertically climb Beta’s face wall with an ice ax and a rope. Please feel free to enjoy!
(Usually, if you use the gym and climb the 3rd floor dry challenge, climbing using a rope is prohibited for safety reasons.)

The route was set by Mr. Hiroshi Furukawa, who is known as “Kazuo-san” in the dry touring community. They always put their ingenuity and prepare a fun route.

Not only dry touring enthusiasts, but also those who love ice climbing, please join us! “Perfect for off-season training and fun!”

The first assignment is about 5th grade, so I’m going to do my best! !

It’s been a long time since I’ve been a female setter!
No, just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean it’s easy.
He has won championships on the Japanese national team and at the national polity, and is a JMSCA certified route setter.
There are also challenges that require strength and distance!

Currently, she seems to be enjoying climbing while raising her children, and we had a great time talking about raising children with Ms. Ishiyama.

[Indoor] Climb back (using ATC as an ascender) Scheduled for October

2023年10月04日

Overview

“Climb back” is an essential technique to deal with “what if” while rappelling.
No matter how careful you are, troubles such as descending to the wrong place, the length of the rope not being long enough while suspending in the air, etc., may occur no matter how careful you are. It will happen.
In such cases, you will need techniques to climb back up.
If you can hold the rock with your hands or feet, you can climb back up with some ease by climbing.
However, if you cannot reach the rock while suspended in the air, you will need solid climbing techniques.

This course will teach you how to climb back up in such a situation.

[October date]
10/6 (Fri) 16:00~
10/8 (Sat) 18:00~
10/20 (Fri) 13:00~
10/21 (Sat) 18:00~

【Venue】

[Content]
I will tell you how to climb back up using ATC as an ascender.
This method is relatively easy to set up and the transition from climbing back to rappelling is smooth.
