Dry-Tooling Ethical Debate. Dry-tooling (climbing rock with ice axes and crampons) is a growing sport in our region and the Queenstown Climbing Club (QCC) is running a debate about this activity together with the New Zealand Alpine Club (NZAC), the Federated Mountain Clubs (FMC) and the Department of Conservation.

Therefore we would like your opinion about 'Dry-Tooling':

Should there be a local consensus? What recommendations would you like to make in regards to Dry Tooling around the Queenstown region? Would you like to talk at the October's debate session in Queenstown (Date TBC)?

Please email us: queenstownclimbing@gmail.com You have until Monday the 30th of September 2013 to submit your opinion. Following this a debate will run in October with interested parties.
