The UIAA Ice Climbing Governing Group and the UIAA Youth Commission have come together to put on a beginner ice climbing and drytooling camp to be held in Brno, Czech Republic from the 11-13 October 2024.

This camp is ideal for climbers from UIAA member federations who are interested in learning more about drytooling and ice climbing alongside other young climbers from around the world.

The camp will include basic instruction on footwork and the use of ice axes and attendees will get to climb a variety of beginner drytooling routes and can rapidly progress up to competition level moves and routes.

This camp will be run alongside a UIAA Ice Climbing World Tour Youth Training Camp so participants will get to learn to drytool alongside some of the best young ice climbers in the world. Please note that this camp is a learn to drytooling/ice climbing, and will require participants to have a basic knowledge of rock climbing either indoors or outdoors (the UIAA will not be able to instruct the basics of climbing).
