Subotica climber Kira Rafai won the women’s national title in dry tooling at a Serbian championship held at Košutnjak in Belgrade. Her PSK Spartak teammate Robert Sabo finished fifth in the men’s field, Subotica.com reported on November 10, 2026.
What is dry tooling?
In this form of climbing, athletes use ice axes and crampons on a dry natural or purpose-built artificial climbing wall, rather than on ice. The Serbian Mountaineering Association and Belgrade club Vertikal organised the competition.
Seventeen athletes from seven clubs took part. Sabo was the only male competitor to reach the top of the route during qualifying but ended the final in fifth place. Rafai led the women’s competition to take the championship title.
These are results from the national dry-tooling event, not the wider sport-climbing championship across other disciplines.
