We are primarily a bouldering gym. Bouldering is climbing without any ropes or harnesses. Instead, foam mats are used to cushion a fall, which means that climbers need very little in terms of equipment or prior experience before they can start climbing. In fact all you need is a pair of climbing shoes, and you’re good to go!
Boulders are marked with tape indicating the difficulty level of the climb. We offer a variety of climbs suitable for all experience levels, from absolute beginners to those competing at the provincial and national levels. New climbs are set on a weekly rotation, so there’s always something fresh to climb. Members have approximately one month in which to work a project they haven’t sent before it comes down and is replaced by another challenge!
In addition to bouldering, we have four auto-belay walls which allow climbers to go a little higher. Auto-belays are automatic safety devices which lower climbers slowly and safely to the ground. We also have a designated workout area with free weights and stretching apparatus, hangboards, and a campus board. Finally, we’ve just installed a brand new MoonBoard!
Merchandise can be purchased at the front desk. We sell everything from climbing shoes and guidebooks, to injury prevention tools and climbing hand salves. We also offer espresso and tea service, so you can properly fuel your send session!
