Our hours will be modified to provide more availability throughout the day enabling us to provide access to approximately 200 people each day. See below for more information.

Thank you for patience with us through these challenging times.
This time continues to be one of uncertainty. We are reminded daily about the impact of the pandemic and how it challenges all of us. Given uncertain times we will continue to discover ways to manage the risks attributed to climbing and COVID-19.
Remember to book your climbing slot before coming to the gym.
With regards to booking your climbing, we encourage you to come with a partner(s) inside your bubble of close friends or family. This will assist with upholding the recommendations of the Provincial Health Officer. Each person will be required to book individually, therefore planning your weekly climbing schedule with you partner will assist you in getting the times that work best for you and your group.
