Dry Tooling

On the second day of a Wet and High Adventures Ltd bespoke Winter Mountaineering/climbing course we avoided the wind and rain and headed to Newtyle Quarry for some Dry Tooling. Thanks to Stu for coming along aswell.

After some coaching on footwork and axe placements on the beginners slab, both the clients, Stu and I all climbed Bonzai and Groovalicious and some really good techniques (including a adze torque) got used by all. Really nice to see in particular the improvement and car being taken in placing crampons carefully in slots and lips rather than windmilling in hope.
