| - I LOVE IT HERE! I came here exactly one month ago and I'm completely and utterly hooked on climbing. I did the intro course for $35 at the suggestion of a friend who also recently began climbing and is also hooked. As someone who's terrified of heights, I was very skeptical of the whole experience but decided to take the plunge for a lack of anything else to do that day (lol). I have no regrets!!
The intro course was informative and I got a good idea of how to tie the knots, climb an easy route, and belay someone else (i.e. spot them with the rope as they climb up a route). The $35 includes rental fees for the shoes and harness, which you'll need and is a great deal in my opinion because the rentals alone will cost $10. After I did the intro course and fell in love, I decided to sign up for the one month intro membership, which is an extra $15 for the month. It should be noted that the one month intro starts from the day you do your intro course, so it's ideal to sign up as soon as you can so you can go as much as possible. The intro month also includes price for rentals so it's a VERY good deal.
The facilities themselves are spacious with lots of different routes at various difficulty levels and at different heights (great for those days when you're extra scared of heights lol). There's even a huge stalactite like formation with routes on it that's great for building your endurance. There's also a pretty good bouldering area as well (from what I've been told - I don't boulder). There's clips that allow lead climbing for all the routes as well if you're into that. There's also lots of smaller areas with basic hand/foot holds, campus board, rings, hang boards, and weights, where you can practice your techniques or are taking a break from climbing. Not to mention 2 exercise bikes as well for warming up and 2 slack lines, again, for when you wanna take a break from climbing. Seriously, this place is better than a gym! They also change up the routes every few months to keep things fresh. The employees are also very nice. They're quick to flash you a smile as they walk by or correct any mistakes that they might see you doing (guilty!!).
There's tons of parking. If you don't know where to go it's a bit hard to find. Just google map it and follow the route, that's probably the easiest way. It's right beside the go karts building that's next to the Scotia Pond (arena).
