Try dry tooling for the first time with guidance from experienced dry toolers.

Hear inspiring talks from world-class ice climbers and dry toolers.

Enjoy music from incredible local DJs.

We’re proud to be sponsored by Black Diamond and Petzl, who will be on-site with a full range of demo equipment available to use – perfect for newcomers and seasoned climbers wanting to test top-of-the-line kit.
Whether you come for the climbing, the music, the talks, or simply the festival atmosphere, MassonFest promises a unique mix of adrenaline, community, and adventure in one of the UK’s most unique climbing locations.
