Falling bodies and bloodied hands are a normal day at work for Les and Des but it couldn’t be sweeter. Located in quiet Oakleigh South, the loving brother duo owns and operates bouldering gym La Roca. Built in 2018 the young men have created a climbing haven for 280 members who relish in the warm company of the owners. While Les and Des’s rock climbing interest is only new, their love for the sport and people creates a blissful and wholesome community.
