This session is intended for complete beginners, and anyone who hasn't tooled at Masson before. It covers everything you needed to get started tooling. We'll look at safety, gear, and tooling-specific techniques, which will help you on the wall.

Want to take your tooling to the next level? In this session GB Ice Climbing athlete and Masson expert Neil Blake helps hone your skills on his very own routes. This session focuses on routes from D5 to D8.

Want to make the leap into the world of tooling steep roof routes? GB Ice Climbing athlete and Masson expert Neil Blake is here to help you move from the vertical into the overhanging. This session takes you from the Fig4 trainer to the crag's D10 testpiece: Sub Rosa.

Petzl-sponsored climber Emma Powell knows what it takes to tool hard, and how to tailor her training to reach her goals in ice climbing, competition, or to succeed on the hardest dry tooling route in the UK. In this session she shares how to train for success in tooling. This session takes place on the main stage, not on the crag.

Hooked on tooling but can't afford a pair of Sportiva fruitboots? Bring your old rock shoes and turn them into DIY fruitboots, then go and try them out on the crag! The cost of this session includes 1 pair of Kuznia bolt-on crampons with stiffener bar for use on rock shoes or stiff boots such as cycle shoes plus the bolts to attach them to your shoes. We'll bring the drills and the crampons, you bring the shoes and the psych! So that we can order your bolt-on crampons, the deadline for booking a place in this session is 25th July. No additional places will be available after this date and it will not be possible to sign up "on the day".
