236 Victoria St N | 40 & 35 fl | Proposed
#57
I'm going to again say, why are we building housing? It's super important that people have things that they can do in the places they live. Preferably without having to drive out to the suburbs. Having reachable climbing gyms really helps making a place more worthwhile to actually live in. I definitely prefer having an actual climbing gym to an upzone, flip, and no construction situation.

Toronto has had an explosion of bouldering gyms, but far fewer roped climbing options. It's hard to have structures that are tall enough.

GRR has been far better at actually running a gym than the previous place, Higher Ground, which did used to be at Sportsworld, and which closed before I moved to Waterloo.
