【Dry Tooling】 #48 Introductory Held on 6/14 (Wednesday)

Beta Climbing Gym Seminar/Introduction to Dry Tooling


Intro to dry touring in June will be held on 6/14 (Wednesday)!
Dry touring is climbing using ice axes and crampons to climb rock walls and artificial walls.
In Europe and the United States, it is enjoyed by many people as a genre of climbing.

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
For details and to apply, please visit the official website

The number of times you can participate in the introductory class will be up to 3 times. After graduating from the introductory class, you can practice on your own, or if you want to practice with everyone, please use the “Dry Tooling Practice Meeting”.。

2023/5/28 [outdoorcrag] Multi-pitch climbing practice meeting held at Yugawara Makuiwa and Goku Slab

Beta Climbing Gym | Sotoiwa Seminar / Multi-pitch climbing


2023/5/28 A multi-pitch climbing practice session was held at Yugawara Makiwa/Goku Slab.
It’s really nice to be able to hold it at the timing before the rainy season.

When the rainy season starts, you can’t have a practice meeting at Sotoiwa.
We will expose the problem outside now, practice indoors during the rainy season, and play outside when the rainy season ends! !
I thought it would be nice if such a flow could be done.

Goku Slab is a 4-pitch slab root. 20-30m per pitch. Climbing itself is not that difficult.
Climbing is not difficult, and the route has a certain length and number of pitches, so you can practice rope work.
And the reward for climbing is the superb view of Sagami Bay and the pleasant sea breeze unique to this season.

It seems that everyone had a fulfilling day, and it was a good day.

Climb, get stronger, get your shoes! June 2023 Monthly Challenge 1F/2F All 30 problems start!

Beta climbing gym favorite Start a monthly challenge to get climbing shoes

June 2023 monthly challenge has started!  There are 15 tasks on each floor, for a total of 30 tasks.

This month’s monthly is also interesting! “I’m sorry if I’m being rude, but it’s true.”

May was fun too…the number of challengers didn’t exceed 400. .
I think I lost a little confidence.
I want to reach 400 people in June and give shoes to 2 people!
Please try it!

This month, we have a variety of challenges such as balance, a little coordination, and retention.
The annual “I want everyone to fly” number 6! “Don’t let your guard down after flying!”
Climb, get stronger, get shoes!

⭐︎ For those who haven’t tried it yet, it’s different from tape assignments! “The grade is about level 5.”
⭐︎If you touch number 1 and feel that it is difficult, please touch up to number 4! “Number 4 may be easier than number 1.”
⭐︎ If you have only touched the 1st floor, please climb the 2nd floor and write it on the list! “Your chances of winning will be doubled.”

Please enjoy this month as well! !

■ Monthly Challenge Present
1st prize Climbing shoes of your choice (Choose from Scarpa/Unparallel/Sportiva/Mudrock/Black Diamond)
2nd Prize Original T-shirt
3rd class all-day ticket

Climbing shoes will be presented by lottery to those who climbed the monthly assignment and wrote their name on the check sheet. The number of completed climbs has nothing to do with the probability of winning. It’s OK to do just one assignment. Please challenge! “Simple assignments are about level 5.”
In the beta, we would like you to enjoy the weekly and monthly challenges and get stronger, and we would like you to feel that you have become stronger with the permanent regular challenges (tape challenges). Reference videos for tape assignments are uploaded to YouTube. I hope it will be helpful.
The reference video of the weekly assignment is uploaded to Instagram.

Weekly assignments often have a slightly different taste than regular assignments (tape assignments) and monthly assignments.
Please enjoy the weekly assignments as well!


2023/5/27 [Outdoor crag] Crack practice meeting held at Ogawayama

Beta Climbing Gym | Outdoor Workshop/Crack Climbing


2023/5/27 Outdoor crack practice meeting was held at Ogawayama.

Since an event was being held at Mawarimedaira, the parking lot was full at around 9:30 and the aisles were full of cars.

As for the crag area… I think it was empty except for the rocks used for the event.
Initially, we headed for Aniiwa, but due to an event being held, we changed our destination to Thumbiwa.
1st party only. . No one came after that.

I thoroughly enjoyed “Ogawayama Layback”, which looks good and has good contents.
There are various ways to climb, such as jamming with a solid crack, or picking up the face with your feet. .
It’s fun with each one.

Did you climb about 3 per person?
Everyone was facing their own challenges, such as camset practice and pseudo leads.

After that, we moved to the last one and had a lot of fun with alpine-chic challenges.

It was a good day to enjoy crack to the fullest.

■ Issues climbed
Thumb Rock Ogawayama Layback 5.9 ☆☆☆☆
Last one main wall central couloir 5.7
Last one Okukabe only long 5.8

More about athlete nailsく

Are you climbing as hard as you can without thinking about your nails and fingertips?

For those who answered No…
・Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well

If you have a problem with your nails or fingers, it will have a bad effect on both your mental and physical…

If you can solve problems with nails and fingers, it may be a hint for achieving goals and collecting tasks! !

The hint to solve the problem is in daily care!

mentally

・Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well

⇒ anxiety
If there is an element of anxiety, I will save my movement somewhere and I will not be able to put out 100% of my power.
There are many body parts that can be maintained to prevent such anxiety.

Fingertip care is one of them.
Nail care, which is the terminal part, is also connected to mental care, allowing you to fully demonstrate your abilities.

⇒ Mental peace of mind is important 

physical

・Pain in nails and fingers
・I’m afraid it will get worse because my nails are cracking.
・Ripped finger skin
・I can’t hold the hold well

⇒ power escapes
Bones do not extend to fingertips. Nails, which compensate for this, are important organs that protect the fingertips and control the amount of force applied.
It is nail pressure that makes the most of the functions of the fingertips.
If the nails are in a healthy state, it will be difficult to miss the action of the muscles and tendons of the fingers, the accuracy of the holding will increase, and it will lead to a state where it is easier to demonstrate your ability.

⇒ A healthy body is important

What is nail pressure

Nail pressure means that the nail firmly receives the force applied from the pad of the finger. For example, you can throw the ball farther or faster. When running, the power of kicking out is increased, and the body balance that supports and stabilizes the body is also improved.

From a mental and physical (physical) point of view, nail pressure is an important factor that is indispensable for sports.
Even if you use only boneless fingertips to hold the finger, if the nail is in a healthy and moderately hard state, the nail pressure will support the finger, increasing the sense of stability.

athlete nail trainer®×climber

◆Trainer Mai Masuhara’s personal experience◆
~Athlete nails® arrived at by a manicurist with 6 years of climbing history~

[Before gaining knowledge of athlete nails]I think my nails are a hindrance while climbing ⇒ I had my nails as deep as possible
*Reason: When I had to have a fine hold, it was better not to hit walls and rocks with my nails, and I used to use deep nails when it got in the way. If my nails were too long, it would hit the wall, and I felt that I could not hold the ball.

[After gaining knowledge of athlete nails]Know that the power was escaping ⇒ Adjust the length of the nail to a length that is easy to climb (= the same length as the outline of the finger)
*Reason: When holding a small hold, if I adjusted the length of my nails so that it would be easier to climb, I could feel a sense of stability when I held it and it was easier to climb, and I felt less pain in my fingertips.

※Athlete Nail Trainer® is certified by the Athlete Nail Association

Is it different from fashionable nails?

Athlete Nail is a nail maintenance technique that adjusts the length and shape of nails to prevent injuries and improve performance.

・Professional athletes
・Those who exercise as a hobby
・Those who want to prevent injuries to their fingertips due to sports. . .

For all athletes who play sports such as.
Not only for climbers, but also for those who are engaged in sports that abuse their nails, such as trail running and mountain climbing.

Please consult a nail trainer if you have any problems with your nails.

If you have a friend or family member who is a manicurist, please consult them first if you have any problems!
If you have a solution, it may be easier to talk to someone near you!

Athlete nail trainers specialize in knowledge of damage to nails and around nails caused by athletes’ movements, and techniques to maintain them. Please feel free to contact the athlete nail trainer!
