Ready, Set, Climb!

So with mid-terms and papers all starting to fall into our laps, we need to keep motivated and going strong. Believe it or not working out gives you an extra boost of energy throughout your day. But the gym just isn't appealing...and it can be especially not fun! Time for an activity that you can do for fun on the weekend or to help stimulate your brain as a workout.

With that said, its TIME TO CLIMB!!

Gibraltar Climbing Company is over 6000 square feet of state of the art indoor climbing facility. AND its Southern Ontario's most popular Rock climbing gym! Located just off of Huron Line in the Sandcastle Recreation Center.

Established in 1997 it is home to some of the greatest pathways for climbing. With staff to help train you on how to belay your partner (a pulley like system used to keep climbers from falling), and to teach you how to climb. The pathways are designed to be accessible for all climbing abilities and are ever changing.

Some of the walls range from 32 to 44 feet tall!



The facility also includes 3 large bouldering areas with over 2000 square feet of "prime terrain with roofs, 20-55 degree overhangs, corners"(Gibraltar Climbing Company) etc.

Open Monday - Friday from 3pm - 10pm
Saturday-Sunday from 11am- 6pm

Nothing says quality time with friends like putting your safety in their "capable" hands!

So get up off the couch and tie up those sneakers 'cuz its time for you to get climbin'
