A well known climbing gym in Pte. St. Charles is responding to the demand for more space and will be more than doubling their square footage with a move right down the street to the old Redpath Silos.

The gym is owned and operated by the Richer-de la Plante family and this announcement is truly the starting point of a labor of love for the whole family.
Construction is underway and the grand opening is slated for summer 2012.
