Slackers rejoice! Finally, there is somewhere you can slack in the rain or when it's snowing (it is only May after all) in a safe and comfortable setting. No more worrying about whether you are slacking in a dog park! True North Climbing is the only place in the GTA where you can walk the line indoors.

Whether you are new to the sport of slackline or a seasoned pro you'll have 2 very different lines to play around on. First off we have a short 2" line that can be more forgiving to learn on or to try advanced jumping tricks. The second line is a more traditional 1" line that stretches and wobbles as you walk across it. Our ratchet tightening system allows for quick and easy adjustments to the tension of each line giving infinite possibilities and challenges; just ask a staff member!
As daunting as it may seem at first, you will take a couple of steps on your first day. With some hours of effort you will be amazed to actually be walking, recovering your balance and walking some more on something that is only 1" wide. Eventually you can work your way up to surfing back and forth on the line, jumping across it or even attempting the seemingly impossible backflip. Come out and give it a try!
