Out door/ covered climbing and boulder facility 27-Mar-2015 At 2:08:34 PM Cataraqui Climber

Thanks for the feed back Howsie!

I am pretty confident it would be a solid business venture , regardless if it attracts the more diligent out door climbers or not , but I am really hoping it can supply serious climbers with the right level of challenge as well as even providing a space to catch up , meet before a trek or even train for a specific climb. Proximity to some nice restaurants and pubs isn't a negative either!

Daylesford isn't the most stable or forgiving weather in winter...I lived in a tee pee through two winters with my wife before getting the house built. Having said that, cold stone is pretty invigorating!

I'm looking into using the shotcrete method for as realistic features and texture as possible.

Climbing gyms never really grabbed me personally but it was always due to the ambiance or vibe. I did however love bouldering around a mates living room in Moreland years ago...guess there's a lot to be said for the right company.
