Rock Climbing Facility Coming To Galena

Dec 15, 2021 | 9:21 AM

Galena resident Jeff West has received approval from the Galena Zoning Board of Adjustment for initial designs for Lead Mine Climbing Gym, an indoor rock climbing facility he plans to develop on Oldenburg Lane. West began rock climbing in college as a way to overcome his fear of heights. He soon fell in love with the problem-solving challenges that it offers. West believes his business will fill a niche in the Galena area by offering an indoor, family-friendly activity. West must submit construction plans to the city’s zoning administrator and the fire inspector to receive a permit before beginning construction. He said he hopes to open Lead Mine Climbing Gym by late summer or early fall of 2022.
