New to dry tooling? Interested in dry tooling? Wanna go dry tooling? Can you handle a smidgeon of rain?
Well, this is the trip for you! Hot diggity! Come on down to Dennett Bluffs for a gathering of like minded individuals and try out some tooling! (Apparently, Dennett Bluffs is in the area of a film location for Rambo's First Blood; the Junkyard Scene. I think we should hereafter call the area Rambo's Junkyard because it's super cool. But, if this location is very wrong, please stop me before I continue to make a fool of myself).

We will have ropes set up and a tarp structure to stay out of the rain. I would be happy to share my knowledge and answer questions about what I know about dry tooling (and/or mixed climbing). DISCLAIMER: I am far from being a dry tooling expert. I started about 20 years ago (Haffner Creek: I had to be rescued when I fell wearing leashes. Very embarrassing). I am an adequate climber. But I can get you started and talk about gear, technique, fruit boots, why you shouldn't wear leashes, figure 4s, hookers, screamers and screws, and much much more. 

This is a beginner friendly trip, but unfortunately, we do not have personal climbing equipment to help you get started. If you are interested in climbing with us, please bring a harness, helmet, appropriate boots, technical ice climbing crampons and preferably tools (though these can be shared). Warning: when renting tools, try to avoid getting an adze on your tool (big lobodomy risk). You can try climbing with glacier crampons and even a mountaineering axe, but there is a risk that we will laugh at your efforts.  All this stuff can be rented at ClimbOn (I think). If you need a little direction with this, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

Car pooling can be discussed in the forum.
