Autobelays are great with good mix of climbs. Nice group of climbers and no problem getting someone to belay on climbs not covered by autobelay. Looking forward to the next visit.
Me and my wife got our intro to lead rope sport climbing certification here and it was super fun and challenging and we are now hooked and planning weekly climbing date nights. Owen was an incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and qualified instructor who was really great to work with, and Mario and Owen went out of their way to accomodate us when they didn't need to. Highly recommend!
Solid, good leads
Love this place! The kilter board and the height of the sport climbing wall really set it apart from any of the other climbing facilities in Winnipeg. I personally like training on the campus board and the challenging crack climb that is a permanent fixture on the sport wall.
Beautiful, well-maintained walls and friendly staff. There's the big wall for sport climbing, a very small bouldering wall, and Manitoba's only Kilter Board (as of Jan 2023). Equipment rentals available. Members of the public can drop in anytime during their hours, though the front desk staff are sometimes confused about access to the bouldering wall (the public is definitely allowed). Definitely the cheapest place to climb indoors in Winnipeg, too, and easily accessible by bus or bike. The Blue line runs directly to the Active Living Centre building and doesn't get stuck in traffic thanks to the rapid transitway!
