Dry tooling

Post by Trick » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:33 pm

As the winter season approaches my mind starts to think about Ice/Mixed climbing. I was wondering if there are any places in town that dry tooling would be acceptable. Someone mentioned that the chipped wall in the Kacodemon boulder is a possiblity.
Are there any others? I'm not looking to hack up a sport route or anything, but if there are any good training areas I'd love to check them out.

there's a lot of mossy rock in the area of the Rehabilitation Projects (Speedway Wall) that you could chuck a toprope down and mess around on without damaging any established routes

another established area is at Bert and Eds, across from the Soo Slide north of Whistler, on the dirty wall left of the offwidth of Defibrillator. There are established lines to the right that shouldn't be drytooled, however.
