【Dry Tooling】 #50 Introductory Held on 8/2 (Wednesday)

Beta Climbing Gym Seminar/Introduction to Dry Tooling


Intro to dry touring in Augstu will be held on 8/2 (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”.。

Overview

A belay device that is indispensable for rope climbing, ATC is a versatile device.
This is a workshop to learn about the wonders of ATC and make full use of its functions.

The ATC can be used not only for lead belaying, but also as an ascender for second belaying, rappelling, and climbing back.
It is a versatile multi-device with 4 roles in 1 unit, but the structure and the principle of functioning are simple.

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

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

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

This month’s monthly is rich in variations, from dynamic challenges to firmly held challenges.
It is easy to climb around No. 1 to 3, and after that it is quite challenging to climb. It might be a little quirky, though. .

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 hope that you will enjoy the weekly and monthly challenges and become stronger, and that you will 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!
