The Valemount Climbing Club is making good progress on their new bouldering gym, the first of its kind in the community. They are still waiting for the crash mats and some of the holds from suppliers but hope to open their doors in early December. Bouldering is ropeless climbing. Proponents say it is both a physical and mental workout and good for kids and adults alike. /LAURA KEIL
