From the reviews

As far as I know this is the only dry tooling gym in the Denver area, and it's criminal that it's not more well known. The ice coop is an absolute gem. Great for anyone from beginner to crushers. They even host events and clinics to work on your technique and strength.

The Ice Coop is my favorite gym in the Front Range. From the moment you walk in, the staff make it clear that this is a place built on care, stoke, and genuine connection.

Ice Coop rocks! I went for an event last Thursday (No Pressure Beginner Night), and they were very welcoming and knowledgeable about teaching dry tooling concepts, especially for a beginner. If you are wanting to try out dry tooling, I can't recommend Ice Coop highly enough!
