(Special!) Toronto Vegan Climbing and Potluck Picnic - Basecamp Bloor
About the event
Join us at our vegan-friendly social climbing session and special potluck picnic event!
We welcome all vegans, vegetarians, or anyone who is curious about the lifestyle and/or interested in eating more plant-based. No climbing experience is necessary. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time climber, all are welcome. We will be bouldering, top roping, and using autobelays - feel free to join whichever activity you're interested in!
*This time around we will be inviting attendees to join us for a potluck picnic in Christie Pits park a short walk down the street from the gym following the climbing session. This will probably be one of the last warm weekends of the year, so we want to make the most of it.
If you intend to join us for our picnic, please join us at Christie Pits park shortly after 5pm. Make sure to bring only vegan food items and please be sure to keep track of any ingredients that are common allergens.
For those who are climbing for the first time, not to worry as it is quick to pick up and we are happy to provide some pointers on technique. You can boulder or use the autobelays after getting a quick orientation from the staff at the gym. For top roping, we're happy to belay any of our attendees.
Fees**:
• $28 admission fee, plus rentals
Climbing shoes are strongly recommended (disclaimer: rental shoes are not vegan as they contain suede/leather). Harnesses are only necessary for top roping and autobelay, however this gym is primarily a rope climbing gym.
• Shoe rental: $7.00 • Harness rental: $7.00
Remember to sign the [waiver](https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5f121ea156df1/web/) before you hit the rocks! You can sign the waiver online or in person once you arrive. Make sure to arrive at the Bloor location, there are multiple Basecamp locations! Happy climbing! 🧗♂️🌱
Note: Clean indoor shoes are allowed to be worn, however we highly recommend using climbing shoes otherwise your experience will be negatively impacted.
