Dont believe the hype - read it for yourself...
If you hadn't noticed by now, we think Schmoolz are awesome. But don't just take our word for it. Below is our notice board of reviews and testimonials written by a variety of different climbers - old, young, beginners and professional (honest - not just the Schmoolz crew).If you've used our Schmoolz and want to do a review, drop us an e-mail and a picture. We'll stick them up on the notice board for the world to see!
An American Peyote.
I received a pair of Schmoolz a few weeks ago to tryout by the inventor in the UK. I’ve since spent
a few trips to the gyms around Zurich with these interesting ice or dry tools for indoor climbing,
getting a feeling for how they work and how useful they are. If you want to know the answer before
getting to the end of this article, I’ll just tell you, I think they rock...

Routesetter’s Review – STS
It’s often too easy to knock something new, especially if you’ve never tried it before. That’s certainly
the view that I first took when my Schmoolz arrived through the post! That view changed quickly once I
got to our indoor wall here at the Lodge. I had envisaged having to change holds around and set up routes
specific for these tools but I was surprised just how adaptable they proved to be.
Big Jump's in Dry Tooling?
I've been using Schmoolz for a month or so now, and can already feel the difference in the capabilities of
training where and when I want. The rubber band is massively underestimated on what you can get away with,
lets say, it's a lot. Even on featured walls training is no problem. With Schmoolz I'm sure we will see
a big jump in dry tooling in Scotland and the rest of the U.K. in the near future.
Schmoolz Hit Germany...
It's always a good idea to have new toys to fool around with. The new Schmoolz are a good example and a
perfect edition for our climbing gym. We have a pair which our customers can rent for training at our
boulder wall and to prepare for the next ice climbing season. Even if there is no good place for ice
climbing in our part of Germany, the Schmoolz provide a good reason...
Do they really work?
I write to commend you on your indoor axes. I have been using a pair for about 12 months and have found
them a great training aid for my winter climbing. I started using them in the run up toward last winter
and designed a training program around their use to compliment dry tool training with my outdoor axes
and training in the gym...
The Gear Caster - Schmoolz Review.
Now that ice season is almost here, I have begun training in earnest. Recently, a UK company,
Schmoolz, has entered the dry tooling scene.
Schmoolz recently sent me a pair to test out as well, so I have been using them at the climbing gym to help me get in ice climbing shape.

Girls can Schmool To...
Being female and naturally quite inquisitive. I was very intrigued when I first set eyes on someone
using a set of Schmoolz at my local indoor climbing wall. I inched myself forward to ask a thousand
and one questions to uncover what these new, exciting and strange contraptions were. I initially felt
quite reluctant to sample them when I was offered the opportunity to give them a go...
Schmoolz are AWESOME!!!
Personally I have found the Schmoolz to be a great addition to my climbing routine, not only do they
offer a whole new realm of fun to be had they work an entirely different set of muscles to traditional
climbing hence taking your training to a whole new level! When I first used them I was actually amazed
by how much fun could be with such a small addition, there was nearly a civil war in the group...
Big jugs, small holds & unexpected falls!
I picked up a set of Schmoolz in an effort to mix up my training and build up some endurance for the
coming winter. After testing them out for first time at my local wall with a friend, we instantly
got the intense pump associated with hanging on axes and had great fun using them on different routes...
