The New TCA is Looking Good!

I stopped by Toronto Climbing Academy's new location earlier today. They had a good crowd out for their grand opening, and the place is looking really nice. I did a few climbs (good routes), and saw a lot of the usual TCA community there.

I was especially pleased to see they have a large seamless padding system around their huge top-out boulder, and that just about all their walls have lead anchors installed. These are two things in common with our new gym, so obviously I agree with both those decisions!

Congrats to Chris, Sacha and Ana on the beautiful new facility. I'm looking forward to working with them to keep growing the climbing community in Toronto.

TCA #2: Grand Opening February 6th

As you may know, we're not the only new gym opening soon in Toronto. Our friends at Toronto Climbing Academy have been working very hard to get their second gym ready. Right now they're getting ready to lay down the floor padding and next week they will be setting routes like crazy, to be ready for their Grand Opening on Saturday February 6th.

I had a look at their new facility a month or so ago, and it was looking pretty cool. It's a modern, bright space (huge windows on 2 sides bringing in lots of natural light), with spacious change rooms, and some pretty nice terrain, including a huge top-out boulder in the middle.

The second TCA is located at 11 Curity Ave, near St Clair Ave East and O'Connor Drive, not far from the DVP and Don Mills Rd, and a short bus ride from Woodbine subway station. Check them out on opening day. Who can turn down a free day of climbing?
