Dry Tooling

Precision, balance and control on rock. Discover dry tooling at SCARPA Mountain Days. Using ice axes and crampons on rock, develop the technical skills of mixed climbing in a controlled environment. Choose your preferred day and join a certified mountain guide or SCARPA athlete for a session focused on movement, technique and progression. Guided activities take place in small groups of up to 6 participants per guide, while sessions with SCARPA athletes are limited to 2–3 participants for a more personalized experience.
