Klasse Drytooling-Tag mit Exped Tribe! 🧗♂️💥
Super organisierter Tag, bei dem wir extrem viel gelernt haben. Fundierter Input zur Technik, top Betreuung und richtig gute Stimmung am Fels. Absolute Empfehlung
Energy-saving climbing on steeply overhanging walls, precise standing on the front points of your crampons and a great deal of energy are demanded in drytooling. You climb holistically on rock, with the help of ice tools and crampons, just as you know them from ice climbing. An exciting mixture that prepares you perfectly for the ice climbing season or for demanding combined mountain tours.
from CHF 290.00
The ’80s mark the origins of modern ice climbing, which were also shaped by the emergence of new materials such as strongly curved picks and crampons with horizontal points. But climbing on pure ice formations had partly lost its appeal by the end of the ’90s. On top of that, in certain winter seasons the ice formed more rarely or more poorly. Ice climbers and alpinists were therefore unable to train consistently for their serious alpine projects. An alternative was needed! So people now tried themselves on combined objectives, which led through rock passages and often crossed over into ice climbing on free-hanging icicles. Mixed climbing was thus born.
With the turn of the millennium the art of mixed climbing developed further, so that people climbed only on dry rock (Dry), with ice tools and crampons (Tooling). The ice climbers could just train in the valley on prepared walls for Their high-alpine objectives, in order to then be fit in the high mountains for extremely difficult mixed climbs or demanding mountain tours.

Ich habe den Drytool Grundkurs in Erstfeld besucht.
Davide und sein Team haben einen tollen Klettergarten auf die Beine gestellt!
War ein super Tag, Davide wirkt sehr kompetent und alles war gut organisiert.
Vielen Dank!

Sehr sehr zu empfehlen ;-)! Wir hatten einen super dry tooling Tag in erstfeld ! (Danke an die Bolting Team )!!!
Davide und Martin beide sind Mega motiviert und hilfsreich ,von Anmeldung frage abklären bis Steigeisen Zacken umbauen .
Davide und Martin können uns viele Sachen klären , und die Gruppe ist so klein dass man immer viele individuelle Feedback bekommen könnte ;-)
Am Ende gab es noch Glühwein Anstoss 🍷
der Tag hat mir so Spass gemacht dass ich heute Abend schon Eisgeräte kaufen werde ;-)
Würde mich freuen bald Davide und Martin wieder zu sehen ;)!!
Herzlichen vielen Dank für so einen tollen Tag 👊😬😁🧗🏻

First drytooling experience and we loved it! Martin and Davide were fantastic—professional, encouraging, and fun to be around. They explained everything clearly and made the day both safe and enjoyable. We’ll definitely book another experience with Exped Tribe!
Some experience in rock climbing or ice climbing is an advantage.
Fitness for short approaches of up to 30 min.
After the meet & greet we start with a theoretical introduction to the subject of drytooling. The topics we cover are: equipment knowledge, placement options for the pick in the rock, pulling directions of the ice tools, hand changes, footwork sequences, energy-saving movement, «Figure of Four» and «Figure of Nine», climbing as second and as leader. After the theoretical introduction we look for easy routes on which we can apply what we have learned. More experienced participants can lead climb on request. Otherwise this adventure is climbed in top rope.
After a short tea and snack break we change sector and look for new demanding routes to climb. After this adventure you will be able to climb easy drytooling routes independently.
The courses mostly take place in the self-developed Exped Tribe drytool garden «Meteoritenwand»
Drytooling (from English dry and tool) is an alpine climbing sport in which you climb on dry rock with ice climbing tools (axes) and crampons. The sport emerged at the end of the 1990s so that alpinists could train consistently in the valley for demanding mixed climbs and high mountain tours even in winters with little snow and ice.
Depending on the weather we switch flexibly to optimal crags in the regions of Uri, Basel-Landschaft, Bern or Glarus. Most of the time we use the Exped Tribe drytool garden „Meteoritenwand“, which we developed ourselves.
