From the club's website

We are the premier indoor climbing gym in Kitchener, Ontario. We have bouldering, top-rope/lead, and auto-belay routes of various difficulty from beginner to seasoned climbers. We offer youth camps, youth programs, parties, guided climbs, and lessons. Been to Go Bananas, but not Grand River Rocks? Things are a bit different, but just as awesome! Climbing is for anyone, young or old. We have climbing ranging from beginner to expert. Grand River Rocks was founded by Josh Tuffin, Christoff Le Roux, Mike Cieplak, and Scott Hamill. Good friends and seasoned climbers long before the idea of opening a climbing gym was ever even imagined, the four owners built much of the gym with their own hands. In August 2011, the doors of Grand River Rocks opened, and Kitchener-Waterloo officially had a gym entirely devoted to rock climbing. In November 2013, our gym expanded and took over the unit next door.

What it teaches and who for are our best reading of the facts. The club has not confirmed them yet.

Our own questions for every place we list for climbing, not something Grand River Rocks & Go Bananas told us.

Photos, classes and prices come from the club

We never copy them from a club's website: they are the club's own, and they go out of date. They appear here once the club claims this profile and adds them.
