2011 - Began planning to open a rock climbing gym while living in Haida Gwaii, B.C.“Even when travelling, all the places we go, in a lot of the towns there are rock climbers and they all train in a rock-climbing gym and in their home country before they go off.” “There are big communities in all these cities of people that climb,” said Fraser. In their travels, they’ve discovered many others who do the very same thing. “And we've done it for the last 30 years and we would tree plant and do other forestry jobs and then we were travelling and climbing and eventually just loved climbing and saw that as a one way to go back to Cape Breton and start something.” “We've done a tree planting crew for a company called Next Generation Reforestation,” said Fraser. Whenever they could, they’d train indoors to prepare for outdoor adventures on mountains and cliffs in Canada and other countries. The two discovered their love of climbing as tree-planting workers in Alberta. Fraser and Krishandra Zimmer are looking for a suitable spot to open an indoor rock climbing facility in Cape Breton. “The (COVID-19) pandemic kind of delayed everything and then the prices went up considerably, but we moved back to Cape Breton with the idea of getting this off the ground and we've been looking quite a bit to try to find the right space, but it's been pretty difficult.” Lawrence Fraser, a North Sydney native, is shown climbing in Kalymnos, Greece. “We’ve been planning it out for quite some time,” said Fraser, a North Sydney native who now lives in Big Pond. The husband-and-wife climbing duo of Krishandra Zimmer and Lawrence Fraser have been searching for months for the perfect spot to open The Highland Crag and realize their dream of owning a climbing facility to share their love for climbing. Mountain climbers are used to overcoming difficult tasks, which is why a pair of mountaineers who aspire to be business owners have been undeterred in their ongoing efforts to open an indoor rock-climbing facility in Cape Breton.
