Services
The Rock Dump Indoor Climbing Gym opened in November of 2001.
Owners Matt and Ami Cecil built and designed the "big, green building" after several years of planning.
With the help of Marcel LaPerriere, a scale model was built and the construction of the climbing walls began.
With the exterior of the building complete, the gym space was a 60' by 60', three dimensional blank canvas.
Keeping with the original model (whenever possible), They began building the climbing walls.
Marcel ran the show with several carpenters coming and going throughout the project.
