Ange and her family try climbing!

We’re entering that time of year when winter activities are behind us, and time spent outdoors is a mix of melting snow, splashing mud and puddles that often shorten the time spent outside. Sometimes it takes a little more imagination to get the kids moving! It seemed an ideal time to discover Délire Escalade in downtown Lévis, an inviting place to introduce the whole family to this increasingly popular sport.

First of all, the space is vast and airy, and the many colorful holds on the different routes already set a playful tone for the activity! Délire Escalade Lévis is all about having fun, although experienced climbers are also welcome.

In just a few minutes, we’d slipped on the climbing shoes available on site, were briefed on a few safety precautions and were already in wall exploration mode. The center offers free bouldering (without belaying) at different, well-marked levels of difficulty, for young and old, beginners and advanced climbers alike.

It’s a great opportunity to challenge ourselves, build confidence, push our intrinsic motivation, work on our concentration and encourage each other as a family, as well as discovering new muscles all over our bodies.
