This week I will be in Saanichton, British Columbia (22 km North of Victoria) working as a Rock Climbing Instructor with The Boulders Climbing Gym. They run adaptive recreation programs, a youth climbing team, rehab programs for stroke and brain-injury victims, and climbing programs for youth of different abilities, including autism programs.
I have done some rock climbing before, though will definitely need some refreshing before beginning to tell others how it’s done. I am reminded of my week as a Yoga Instructor (Week #7) in Edmonton, Alberta, having not done any yoga before going into the week – I am looking forward to the challenge.
From the interaction with my contact at the gym, it sounds like a great atmosphere at the gym and I am excited to be a part of it for the week!

[...] the new episode from our week in Victoria, BC, working at The Boulders Climbing gym. Enjoy! [...]
Well done! I am a keen indoor climber myself, just so long as they belayers are safe its all good! (and the knots of course!)
Climbing is great, I have introduced lots of people to it. Its really addictive, I think some part of Human Nature actually misses the ‘fight or flight’ type of situations. Its a great because in modern stressful situations if we panic we still release adrenaline, but we do nothing with it… Climbing produces this reaction and we use the adrenaline and cortisol (i think???) that our bodies product! – It feels great afterwards!
Cheers, and good luck!
