Loved the gym, one of the most considerate gym I have been to with a huge workout area, large Kilter board, and towels for shower if needed. The facility is very modern and clean. They also have a good selection of snacks, drinks, and all types of climbing items for sale. The route is graded with numbers ranging from 1 to 8, I find 6 is similar to V5-6. First time climbers can get a one week trial pass for $31.5 with chalk and shoe rentals included.
Niche (and all rock jungle gyms) have very friendly and fun staff, who are always willing to help. You can go to them for issues with your account, or to even ask them for beta on a problem if you're stuck! They're always really happy and I get along with all of them really well. I love how bright the gym is and the amount of natural lighting there is. The problems set here are good, and I can feel the quality of the setting increase overtime. This gym has become one of my main gyms! The facility is always clean, and they have great amenities like foot washing stations and a private shower. It's also great to see new holds being purchased and used on the walls to change things up. Different parts of the gym are reset two times a week to provide a fresh climbing experience whenever you go back! Highly recommend Niche and any rock jungle gym Photos and videos from February 11, 2024
I found the setting to be pretty good, the warm up area is ok. My problem with this facility is it all feels weirdly disconnected. The open bathrooms is, very strange.. feels like you have 0 privacy because it’s so out in the open. I’m not sure why typical change rooms, with lockers inside wouldn’t suffice, where you could just change, store your stuff, and use the bathroom in the same room.
Great climbing gym! It's actually pretty big and they have individual change rooms. It's a really nice space in a great location. I did find it kinda pricey compared to other gyms. I wouldn't mind climbing here from time to time but probably won't transfer quite yet (: The set routes were pretty fun! Less dynamic/ competition style but still super fun. Lots of parking in the back in the alley in the fenced up area!!
Easily my favourite climbing gym in the city! Friendly staff, great parking availability, and of course amazing climbs. Amenities are also top notch with lots of washrooms, change rooms, merch, snacks, beverages, and not one but TWO areas to clean the feets after a day of climbing. Would recommend this gym to any experienced or new climbers!
