Delire escalade
If you are a climber in Quebec city, chances are that you have their sticker on your bumper. It all started with 3 climbers that, back in the days needed more space to climb. After transforming their apartment they thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and make a real proper gym.
Today Delire Escalade as tree center in the city and they travel around the globe doing exactly what their passion led to them. In other words, they are getting big so they needed to have some sort of corporate portraits…
Climbers are crazy, non-sense people that nobody can rationalize but yet are so loveable. They burn inside at the idea to make their life miserable by having harder and harder climb every time. It is quite hard to understand at first but try it if you are curious, it will get to you too.
Even tho they look crazy from the outside, climbers are amongst the most posed, calm and thoughtful people I know of.
Imagine yourself hanging from small holds 400m over the land and not knowing how to keep going up. All the decisions you take from now on are life-changing. The capacity to think with clarity in any conditions is one of the best quality any climber can have.
Climbing is not just about getting up on the wall, it is about controlling and knowing yourself.
How much serious can you get from a bunch of people who like to make their life miserable by climbing rock walls?
So yeah… try climbing and you might discover yourself a second family. We climb walls, but we also all learn how to manage ourselves and get thru our fear of heights. This is something everybody has, but also something that everybody can somehow manage in the right conditions. In other words, climbing will make you realize that you have no limits, hence it will defy you on how hard you can push while still having a big smile on your face.
Do yourself a favor and try-out climbing for about a month, just enough time to see some kind of progression and to feel comfortable in the gym. It might be intimidating at first with all those tattooed wearing think tanks while screaming their muscles to get 4 meters of the ground but you will get past that soon enough. Stick to your first V4 and you’ll be hooked.
Vincent the worst of the team…
Congratulation to Delire Escalade and their wonderful success! I just hope now to get a fourth gym to get even more walls, higher this time…
Life is so beautiful when you hang it on a wall.
