Bouldering Gym in Moncton now open - RBloc

Postby thicks » Tue Feb 05, 2008 7:24 pm

The last T has been crossed and the last i has been dotted. We will be opening a part time and non profit Bouldering Gym in Moncton on Friday.

Google Map - map.

Here is a link to the facebook group I just created about the wall link. Here is most of the same info pasted here:

We are Open as of Friday Febuary 8th.
Hours are 600pm to 900pm Friday nights.

Cost is 5 dollars per visit. No Debit Machine available.

At this time there are not rental shoes available.(So bring your old pairs for your friends)

The Bouldering Wall is roughly 13 feet high and about 45 feet long.

For map to our door way search google maps for "190 West Lane, Moncton NB". Our doorway is located directly beside a children's playground which is fenced in. Very close to a large smoke stack as well.


I would like to invite all of you, including out-of-towners, to come and visit. I would also like to reach out and beg for any old climbing shoes. If you have any please contact me, I will lend them to our visitors without charge. Come on, they dont smell very good in your closet anyway...

We are starting small with hopes of growth. Come one, come all.

It is somewhat unfortunate about the loss of the fridge but life must move on.

Sweet Guys, have fun! You may see me sometime in the fall. Climbing in NZ is pretty sweet lots of variety grantie sea cliffs, steep sloppy limestone to big greywack alpine walls. Good to here the wall is up and on the move hope to visit in the future.

Hello everyone,

My name is Didier, I have started climbing in Jasper AB last summer and really got hooked. I am now back in Moncton for two years (studying). I don't know of any climbing spots around and I would greatly appreciate if anyone could tell me where I could train. I heard about a new climbing wall near the hospital and I've just learned, thanks to this great website, that a bouldering gym was opened in Moncton. Is it open to public and if so where is it located? I would appreciate it if anyone could give me this info,

Thanks in advance,

Did

hey all.

we visited RBloc on the weekend and it was super. I was very impressed with the quality of the wall but what got me most excited was to see the development of a new climbing community. Hope this will generate another strong club for New Brunswick with more climbers to meet in Welsford and elsewhere.

cheers to a job well done
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

Hey,

Tried to visit RBloc today, attempted to get in around 3:30. After much searching, we eventually found the right room only to find it locked.

What happened to the hours? According to previous posts it should have been open 12 - 6 on Saturdays?

Some time has passed since the last comment, so is this still in full gear? Have the hours changed from 6-9pm with $5 admission?
