| CLIMBING | 09/17/2025 | NTD+ |
| Would-be ice climbers from the club gathered at the Scratchpad, a dry-tooling gym in Bountiful, to hone their technique and get ready for the winter. Steph arranged with the gym's owner (and accomplished iced/mixed climber and coach) Dustin Lyons for WMC club members to receive dry tooling instruction, as well as a group rate. Everyone enjoyed traversing around the gym on routes that hooked chains, plastic, and metal, where placements required precision. A slight change in posture could make the difference between holding and "skating off." Dustin taught us the basics, then demonstrated a few more advanced maneuvers. Most of us left with plans to return, stoked to keep learning and practicing the movement that will make us proficient at the Wasatch's waterfall ice. |
