Fun setting, always some interesting problems to try. 24/7 access is great. Staff and community are nice and welcoming as well. Highly recommend this gym.
cute little gym. it is small, but you can see before going in how small it is. they use their space efficiently to maximize climbing which is nice. theyre open 24/7 which is nice if you work a weird schedule. setting can get a bit inconsistent from time to time. love these types of small gyms to cater to people in the neighbourhood
Overall vibe is they're trying to spend as little money as possible running this place while still charging the high day pass price standard at all climbing gyms. The lack of staff is evident in things like the fact that the place isn't very clean; the mats have hair and chalk on them especially in the hangboard area, the holds aren't very well cleaned, and I saw a sign asking you to spray your own rental shoes when you're done lol. The mats on the main bouldering area are thin, I wouldn't want to take a bad fall on them. The kilter board is absolutely crammed into the already very small space and the mat for it isn't nearly big enough, it's pretty much the exact length of the board so the edges are very exposed.
Really nice cosy gym, everyone is there to have a good climb and work together on their projects. One thing that I love about this place is that they are open 24/7 for members.
Super small gym, had some fun climbs but not a lot of variety in different grades (I think also because half the climbs were ungraded it was hard to tell). Just a heads up to anyone that has a dog allergy, my allergies really started acting up and I didn't see any dogs but I think the hair was around and the gym might not have the best ventilation.
Synopsis: Pros: open 24/7, no grade for a week is fun, mostly adult-only Cons: dogs bark, poor access to kilter board I had climbed here for 2 years before recently ending my membership. I loved that the gym was open to members 24/7, which meant that I could come in very early or very late when it’s not busy. I wish them nothing but the best and hope these comments can help the owners improve the experience even more. Setting: Considering the small size of the gym, setters do a great job of packing the walls full of climbs. I particularly enjoyed when they started not grading new boulders for a week after putting them up to encourage climbers to try everything they’re interested in. Trying harder problems is a great way to improve. There were a few times where they put big volumes at the bottom of the wall on the slab which felt very scary for my ankles and which I consider to be slightly unsafe setting. No kids, yes pets: This gym has pretty strict policies around children and generally does not encourage children climbing here, which is great if you don’t want to think about watching out for kids. They allow and encourage dogs and cats in the gym, which are always cute to see. Dogs barking: Unfortunately one of the main reasons that prompted my leaving was that the dogs could get disturbing. Sometimes owners left them unleashed and they could roam around to interrupt my workout. Worse, however, is when excited dogs bark. Every time they barked it was so loud in the small room and I really did not enjoy the loud disturbances. Kilter board: Sometimes there is a group of people that would hang on a lyra hoop (I think that’s what it’s called) right over the mat of the kilterboard. I think it’s fine to do this outside of busy hours, but sometimes they do this while there are many others in the gym, many of whom possibly wanting to use the kilter board. I think in a climbing gym, on climbing equipment, I would expect climbing to be prioritized.
My partner and I love coming to Rock On Climbing! Being newer to town, we were looking for a gym so we could get back into bouldering. This place is the perfect fit for us! Not crowded, plenty of routes to climb, liquid chalk dispensers, and a very friendly manager. We love coming here and will continue to climb at R.O.C!! Come try it out :)
