Café Bloc rebuilds its slab for people who love their feet
A complete slab reset downtown: about ten new problems for balance and footwork, on top of a new main wall and terrace set.
Café Bloc has reset its slab wall from top to bottom. There are about ten new problems, and the point of all of them is balance and learning to trust your toes on small holds.
If footwork is the part of your climbing you want to fix, this is the set for it. You will find it at 1209 Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal.
It is not the only new set there. Café Bloc finished resetting its main wall on September 15, and on September 29 it announced the last reset of the year for its terrace wall, where the hammocks are still out and the beer is discounted on Friday nights.
Vibe check
Slow, balancey problems for anyone who wants better footwork.
