Chamonix Guiding / SeBlog

20 minutes from Chamonix is the peacefull Thermal parc in Le fayet. In the back of the Thermes building is a new born dry tooling spot. About 20 routes between 15 and 30 meters. From F 6B to 7C grade.
What is Dry Tooling ? Dry-tooling is climbing on non-icy rock but using ice climbing equipment such as crampons and ice axes.
Dynamic, burly moves, wild falls and unpredictable blow offs...dry tooling is controversial among many climbers !
Some favor it as a new and exciting kind of climbing, while others dislike it for its non traditional methods... Just try it yourself and make your own opinion !
