Délire Escalade Lévis

Délire Escalade Lévis

Délire Escalade Lévis is the Délire group's bouldering gym on the South Shore, on route du Président-Kennedy in the heart of Lévis. It opened in 2023 as the fifth site of the Quebec City climbing company, and its walls were designed and built by Délire's own manufacturing arm. Natural wood walls up to 16 ft high fill the 15,000 sq ft space, with more than 100 problems for every level and new ones each week.

A training area has a tilting Kilter board, and the bistro and bar serve coffee, smoothies, sandwiches and beer. The wi-fi makes it easy to study or work between sessions, and the shop stocks climbing shoes and gear. No booking is needed and bouldering needs no certification. Climbers aged 16 and over must wear climbing shoes, which can be hired.
