Figfour inspiration
By Kenny Stocker | 31, Aug, 2010
Here are some places to find out more about Dry Tooling with Figfour.
Always ask before attempting to use your Figfours at your local climbing wall! They are a new product and many walls will not have heard of them or are unable to manage their use. If you would like to be able to use Figfour at your local wall then why not direct your climbing wall manager to this page, or if you run a climbing wall yourself and you are interested in more practical information you can download the Figfour information sheet which includes a full risk assessment to get you started.

This is a directory of walls where we know there is some degree of Figfour use. This list is by no means definitive, and please contact the wall first to find out their rules and regulations. If your wall allows climbers to use Figfour please get in touch and we will add you to the list.
