We'll be celebrating our new gym with a Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday April 17th from 10am - 3pm.
But wait, didn't the gym already open a few weeks ago? Yup. We launched the gym March 27th with our Tour de Bloc bouldering competition, and then threw the doors open with free admission for climbers the next day. That was our welcome to the climbing community. Since then we've had a steadily increasing stream of climbers coming through our doors and enjoying Toronto's newest indoor climbing gym. Climbers have been enjoying the top-out bouldering, scaling the stalactite, sitting atop the natural boulder, playing on the slacklines, and some have even tried to conquer the full-height finger crack (no successful ascents so far though!).
The Grand Opening Celebration on April 17th is our chance to introduce ourselves to the broader community, especially those who live in neighbourhoods near the gym. It's being held a few weeks after we opened for business because we needed that time to get photos of people enjoying the completed facility, put those into our brochures, and get them printed and distributed in time to announce the event.
On April 17th from 10am - 3pm the gym will not be available for climbing. This allows us to welcome visitors to come in and look around without needing to sign a waiver as is usually required. We'll have some demonstration climbing going on in a few roped-off areas, to show everyone how the joint works. We plan some slacklining demonstrations, and a few other things to keep people who drop by interested. We even have a few raffle prizes.
So if you have not yet seen our shiny new gym, please drop by on Saturday the 17th. If you have been wondering what this indoor climbing craze is about, come see for yourself. If you're a climber and have friends or family who don't understand why you do this, bring them along. We're proud of our new joint and want to show it off!
Normal operations will resume at 3pm, after the Grand Opening Celebration.
