Kitchener has a local climbing gym
Nov. 30th, 2011 08:18 pmAgain? There are hints there was one a while ago that closed.
It is east-end of downtown, as I understand these things, and looks ok. I visited, but since much of their bouldering was closed (setting for a comp) and I couldn't be sure of finding someone to top-rope with, I didn't actually stay.
I did bump into Jody (the manager of Coyote Rock Gym in Ottawa) while wandering around looking. Apparently he was in the gym helping to set for the comp.
Next time I'm in town, I'm sure I'll return and actually climb.

When I asked around about a climbing gym in Kitchener earlier (maybe 6-12 months ago) I was told there wasn't one, and that the closest was Guelph. (Guelph Grotto.) It does look like Bingemans may have a kids wall -- but that's not the same.
