Annex New Seasonal Beer 🍋 Now Available at CCC!
Big Picture | Lemon Lime Sour
Big on bubbles and flavour, Big Picture is one spritzy brew. This lightweight easy-drinker's loaded with zesty citrus notes and a pleasantly dry finish- both its appearance and intentions are clear: good times without much downside.

We’re excited to announce that we will be hosting our 4th Queer Climbing Night, more details to follow!
We’re back up and running at Chinook after a power outage this afternoon. Thanks for your patience!

Flashed - Bert Brush
Did you know brushing makes you climb better, stronger and taller(?). 👀🔥👀🔥
High bristle density means greater chalk clearing and this brush packs more bristles than any other.
Instead of sticking bristles in holes we carve out the whole area and pack it completely full of bristles. There is no free space, simply a block of packed bristles, it doesn’t get any better.
Everyone has different brushing routines so why aren’t there more bristle options? This brush comes in two different bristle stiffnesses: medium and hard.
Medium Stiffness - Lighter Color / Hard Stiffness - Darker Color
Do you brush your holds / rocks? 🪥
