Drytooling UK

DrytoolingUk, the leading providers of drytooling events in the Uk, are running a wekend event here at Shropshire Cimbing Centre from Friday 5th- Saturday 6th February.

For those of you who don't know what drytooling is, it involves using ice axes on holds rather than hands. It's a lot of fun, good training if you plan to do winter routes, but a great sport in its own right. Anyone can have a go, we'll be running taster sessions throughout the weekend, as well as a comp.

Full details on drytooling can be found on the organisers' website: www.drytoolinguk.com

We have sponsors lined up who are giving some good prizes for the comp, and the planned format is:

Friday 5th Feb- Come-and-try-it session all evening plus a workshop from 19.00-21.00.

Saturday 6th Feb- Come and try it sessions all day, plus a comp to run from 12.00 to 16.00

SATURDAY lunchtime BARBEQUE- ALL WELCOME

Don't worry if you haven't got the right gear- all necessary equipment will be provided!
