People do make artificial walls for the purpose of dry tooling though they are rather rare and usually not permanent public facilities. There are some areas that direct water flows then freeze them specifically for ice climbing but thats not a gym style environment. The best way I could think to try this safely is either to

  1. If you know how to set top ropes go to a local climbing area set a top rope and just dry tool your way up as per normal
  2. Hire a guide to set up and teach top roped ice climbing. Expensive of course but not doing something dumb and dying is important

So I guess in short no not really any gym style environments I know of for dry tooling.

I felt like my current city had the worst drivers over ever seen. But maybe it’s just getting worse everywhere. Had to do front and back dashcams
