Today's abandoned silo is tomorrow's rock-climbing center | MNN ...

Indoor rock climbing walls are so pass?. ?Today?s climbing enthusiast wants something a little different, at least that?s what three entrepreneurs in Buffalo, New York are counting on. ?Kevin Cullen, Andy Minier and Jason Schwinger are the outdoor enthusiasts behind a crowdfunding campaign that will turn a 100 year-old grain elevator on the Buffalo River into a state-of-the-art climbing facility.

?

?

?Through your generosity, we will be able to fast-forward to the remaining phases of building what will become the most unique climbing-gym & outdoor education/recreation center in the country. With multiple outdoor and indoor climbing routes, bouldering caves, rappelling platforms, sport-routes, as well as a family & community room, education lounge, and yoga studio ? Silo City Rocks is going to quickly grow into a destination spot for families, corporate team-building retreats, civic organizations, children?s groups and swarms of avid & new rock-climbers alike!?

?

The re-development area will also have kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for rent and future plans call for a bike rental shop that will offer guided historical tours of the downtown Buffalo region.

?

I have a rappelling-loving family; my 9 year-old daughter saw Devin Graham?s ?World?s Most Insane Rope Swing Ever? video and instantly wanted to join in on the fun. ?If there was a facility like Silo City Rocks in the Phoenix metropolitan area I can assure you that we would quickly become regular visitors. ?Unfortunately, Buffalo is a few thousand miles out of the way. ?I do wish the entrepreneurial trio luck in their funding and I can?t wait to read about Silo City Rocks once the project is completed.
