IS CLIMBING FOR ME?

Climbing is an innate sport in humans. The proof, children climb everything they find within their reach!

The sport of climbing is increasingly practiced around the world and will even make its first appearance at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021.

This sport which requires physical work from the tips of the toes to the tips of the fingers is excellent as light physical exercise since you only use your own weight as resistance.

On the other hand if you wish to push this sport further and to practice it more intensely, you will be challenged in increasingly difficult boulders and/or climbing routes requiring technique, physical training and surpassing oneself.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, BE REASSURED WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

Bouldering: This discipline is practiced alone. Having a team member is not necessary.

Climbing: Although the climbing route (top rope and lead) is practiced in pair with a climber and a belayer, the Boisbriand center is equipped with more than 20 auto-belays that allow you to practice alone.

Bouldering is a climbing discipline that is practiced without rope, without harness, on a wall up to 16 feet high with a landing mat just over one foot thick.

Climbing is a discipline that is practiced either with auto-belays or in rope with a partner as well as climbing equipment (harness, rope and descent controller) on 32-foot walls.

Speed is a discipline which is practiced on a route identical to the international one as much for its configuration and its holds. Secured by an auto-belay you have to climb the route as quickly as possible.

We also have a Facebook group where you can find other people looking for partners: Communauté d'escalade au Crux.
