In the begining there was...
The Concept? That’s easy – a tool that lets you ice climb indoors! Well, that’s not strictly true – there’s no ice, no winter kit, and no sharp pointy things!The Schmoolz concept is simple, place an industrial strength rubber loop on the end of a well-designed wooden shaft, which is cut in the contoured form of an ice tool. Now you have the feel of an ice tool in the training environment of a traditional climbing wall.
The idea evolved from dry tooling using technical ice axes modified with a crude sling. From there the Schmool was born.
But our concept is more than simply a winter training aid; our vision is an entirely new and exciting addition to climbing.
“Possibly the most radical thing to hit climbing walls since the resin hold”.
Our mission is to introduce Schmooling to everyone. It’s perfect for climbers young and old, it’s fun & it adds a new dimension to this exciting sport.
