Really enjoy training here. Lots of routes available as well as self belay routes. There is a bouldering wall if you are without a belay partner that day. the change rooms feature lockers and a shower.
Best climbing gym I've been to. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Routes are fun and high quality. Interesting moves on each one.
Good climbs, friendly staff, fun community. They rotate their climbs here between 2wks-2months depending on popularity.
Great climbing gym but a bit expensive if you go just once in a while. Also, tends to be really full, at least in the afternoon/evening and the ventilation isn't great: in fact it's always really hot and stuffy.
Staff is wonderful. Went with a kids camp so there was 50 of us there at the same time. The staff was really helpful and on top of everything.
First time indoor rock climbing. Eric was great at helping us schedule our visit, since we were only in Vancouver for a few more days and they were booked up the day we dropped by. Sharon was great at helping us belay, the kids had a great time, thanks guys!
The gym itself is not terrible. The routes are kinda awkward, and the tape system they use is pretty confusing and kind of a mess, but the walls are nice, even though they're only 40 feet or so. But what really annoyed me about this gym is that they charge you an extra $6 fee for the privilege of registering, beyond what you would pay for a regular day pass. And then another $10 fee to allow you to lead climb. Neither of these fees include any instruction. And from talking to the people who administered the belay / lead test, they don't get paid extra from these fees. This makes this place extremely uninviting for out of town climbers looking to get a work out. The staff also seemed like sticklers for rules, moreso than being concerned about safe climbing. One staff member asked me to climb on the other side of a rope with a large swing (potentially unsafe) b/c they 'preferred it' that way even after I pointed out it was less safe.
First time there. It was not busy on the may long weekend. Instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, helpful with setting up you gears. Instructors also showed us a few different climbing styles. Great place for beginners for give a try out!
I wish they had more staff on site though to be with us and teach us more tricks when we climb. There are only two staff helping nine of us. Most of us are first time climbers.
The worst customer service experience I've had in a while. We paid an extra $6 for an introduction to the gym and the young girl was extremely frustrated that we weren't familiar with the belay device. Her exactly words were "I'd show you how to use the proper one but I have another stuff to do", which meant sitting behind the counter talking with her friends.
We explained pretty clearly at the start that we weren't experienced climbers so good luck to those of you who have never climbed before.
Go down the road to the Hive climbing gym where everyone is friendly :)
VERY busy on a rainy Saturday. Fun, challenging walls and the bouldering wall was a great bonus. Helpful staff!
Good place. But if you already lead climb it'll take you two visits and $16 on top of entrance fee to be allowed to lead climb here. Can you say money grab.
Lots of climbing options and wasn't busy when I went. Definitely need to go with someone who knows how to climb but the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a great workout too. 2 hours flew by!
A pretty good climbing gym. They get too busy sometimes, and some of their holds are Really old but they have been getting better about buying new equipment when it's needed.
It's best not to go Tuesday through Thursday evenings as that's when it's the most busy.
