New Web Site Coming Soon
I set up the original web site for True North Climbing over a year ago, just after incorporating the company and long before we started building the joint. It was a simple, minimalist site that I was able to set up and run myself, and it served its purpose for a while. It's time now to replace that with a more complete and professional website that really reflects what our gym is like.
Over the past couple of months I've been working with the folks at PixelThoughtMedia designing a new web site that is more visually appealing, more well-structured, and more complete. We're in the final stages of beta-testing it, and it should be ready to launch within the next week or so. The new site will include more photos of the gym, a deeper menu structure to keep the content in more easily-digested chunks and an FAQ to help those new to climbing figure out how things work. There will be an event calendar integrated into it, making it easier to learn about coming attractions, group events and lessons. And this blog will be folded into the new site as a WordPress blog, so that it will look a feel more like it belongs with the web site.
So stay tuned for the launch of the new site in the coming days. We're excited to share it with you!

BullFrog Power Is Bringing Their Friends To The Gym!
The November issue of e-Buzz, the newsletter from Bullfrog Power, arrived in my Inbox today, and True North Climbing is in it! Bullfrog is bringing a group of their customers to our gym on November 28th, footing the bill for Introductory Lessons and lunch! We're proud to be a Bullfrog Power customer, and excited that they're helping to share our love of climbing with their community. Look here for full details, and if you know someone who might be interested, note that this is limited to the first 60 people who sign up.
This is just one example of the groups we welcome to the gym. In addition to hosting birthday parties, True North Climbing is a great place for group outings for your team (hockey, soccer, roller derby or whatever your second-favourite sport is!), school group or corporate group. We will provide the instructors (for those 13 or older) or belayers (for younger kids), and make sure everyone has a blast. Call us or talk to someone at the desk for the details.

Date Announced for Reel Rock Film Tour
Last month we announced that we will be the host for the Toronto stop of the Reel Rock Film Tour this season. Now we're ready to tell you when!
The show will be Saturday evening, November 27th. We will close the gym early that night (at 8pm), and take a half hour or so to switch things over for the screening. The slacklines will come down, and the screen will go up. We'll reopen under separate admission, with showtime at 9:00 pm. The price will be $10 for members of True North Climbing and $12 for others. The 5 films run about 90 minutes in total.
And this may seem strange, but we will require a waiver for all those who attend (for those under 18 the Minor waiver Form must be initialed & signed by a parent). The reason is that we intend to let people watch the films from the top of the top-out bouldering wall and the natural boulder. if you have been to our gym before you should already have a waiver on file.
We are very excited and proud to host this event, and hope you'll all join us for what promises to be a fun evening of cool climbing films. Check out the trailer!
