This past weekend IMBOULDERER made the trip out to Quebec City for the 2nd round of the Tour de Bloc. After dealing with some terrible Chinese food, and some messed up directions, Delire climbing gym was found. Seriously, the street has the craziest numbering system I've ever seen. It goes from 0 to about 1500 then jumps to 4000 and the numbers 1500 to 4000 are before the 0... ?!?!... Took a couple tries to find the gym.
Anyway, the comp was great. The problems looked great, but they did try a system that instead of tape they just used the same colour holds for the problem. I think this may have caused some issues for climbers once an abundance of chalk was applied. This was my first time at this gym and I gotta say that I really like their walkout ramp to look over the whole gym. It's a great view to watch climbers throw down! Unfortunately I wasn't climbing, so I don't have any first hand opinions on the problems.
Congrats to all the winners! Big-ups to everyone at Delire! Can't wait for the Regional comp in April (Delire is hosting it).

Sweet, a blog... Updates on the site look good. Delire's lead wall is definitely the highlight of the gym.
