I’m of the perspective that it’s the best gym around. I adore the fresh walls and holds, the treatment and quality of the staff, the v-scale and the excellent use of space. I work in the industry and usually can get in on passes due to that, but I like this gym so much I bought passes and would love to come around more. Thank you Approach team! 🌊
Great new climbing gym that is much needed for the city of Richmond. Facility is clean and the staff is really nice. Everyone seems to be passionate about climbing and the atmosphere is beginning friendly and welcoming to any range of experience in climbing. Price is also reasonable for just one day especially for the student pricing.
Great new climbing gym! We've been to Hive, Progression, and most of the other gyms in the Lower Mainlands, and thus far Approach is our favorite! Not busy at all. Day pass very reasonable cost. And a great range of many many different types of climbs and skill levels! There's slabs, overhangs, and this weird climbing where you start on your back! Would recommend
Awesome bouldering gym! Staff is super friendly and helpful. The setters created interesting climbs even at the V0 level. The building has bathrooms and showers (byo towel) and a workout area past the bathroom area. Lots of cubbies to store your bags. 10/10 would recommend!
Went with my friends around 4pm in the afternoon and it wasn’t too busy! The staff working at the time were super friendly and personable, they even came around to check in on our climbs & to make conversation. It died down significantly around 6pm and it was a great environment to work on any projects you may have. The mix of routes is great as there are a lot of options for all skill-levels!

Richmond's premier bouldering destination—fresh walls, friendly vibes, and climbs for every level!
