In Their Words: “One year ago we found our building; construction is currently underway and we’re getting ready for a fall open as Aspire Climbing’s first franchise. Whitby will be the perfect location for a large scale climbing and ninja warrior facility—a space that will add to an already active and thriving community. Our goal is to help grow the sport of climbing while fostering a strong climbing community within Durham Region.”
