Dry Tooling Dojo
Dry Tooling Dojo - Advanced Training Session
This dojo is for those who want to improve their dry tooling skills and become better climbers.
The dojo master is Junko-sensei, familiar from the Dry Tooling Introduction course. Each month, the master sets a theme, and participants train according to that theme.
From 20:00 to 22:00, you are free to come and go during this time. Come at your convenience and feel free to leave early if needed.
Participation is limited to experienced climbers. If this is your first time dry tooling, please take the "Dry Tooling Introduction" course first.
