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.

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!

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

Great gym - new, super clean, and an interior that looks waaay bigger than you'd assume from when you drive up to it. Lots of variety with the problems, which is great. Still working on the final touches with adding in some exercise equipment from what I saw. Not sure if there will be anything else added... (coffee + snacks perhaps?) Love that members have the option of mixing up their bouldering routine between 3 gyms with a single membership. Great work Rock Jungle team! 🙌
