Exciting news for the climbing community

Just received is the planning permit to build Australias first international competition standard, sport and speed climbing indoor climbing facility right here in Coburg Victoria. Permission has been granted for the construction of a purpose built building to allow 15m vertical height speed wall and sport climbing walls. Finally, rising climbing stars will have a venue that allows training for all aspects of competition climbing to an international standard. Although climbing missed out as an event in the recent youth Olympics, at least the youth of victoria will have a venue they can train in, while the rest of the world catches up to just how good a sport climbing really is, and finally chooses it for an Olympic competition event. I mean Citius _ Altius _ Fortius, (Faster , Higher Stronger) if this motto does not embrace the requirements of climbers at their limits then what motto can say it better. Stay tuned and hopefully early next year the venue will be open for all. Owned and operated by a climbing family who have been cragging throughout victoria for over 20 years.
