Best Rock climbing gym in Canada

B	Bryan Finnerty on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for rock climbing and bouldering! It's easy to book a spot online and there are enough routes that you rarely have to wait to climb. Friendly staff and climbers are a plus! ☺️
n	nic brown on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The facility itself is nice ( clean/organized etc). I do believe it's overpriced for what they have to offer though. And on top of that they make you pay for your belay test. 18 dollars per person for a test that takes about 5 minutes of a staff members time. That's complete BS. I also take issue with the fact that you are not allowed to climb shirtless. They aren't the only climbing gym I know with this rule, but I strongly disagree with it and would love to see these two things changed. Overall I would suggest going to Pinnacle climbing in Bowmanville if you're just looking for a single climbing session. They have taller walls, cheaper prices, and a better atmosphere. However, they are a smaller facility with less climbs so Aspire is better if you're looking to climb frequently as Pinnacle doesn't reset their climbs enough.
C	Crystal Samuel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took my oldest son there this morning to see if it was something he would be interested in, as he's always climbing EVERYTHING at home! Bob was extremely helpful, patient with both my son and I and he took his time to explain everything. Unfortunately, my son was not interested in climbing, but it was still a very positive experience overall. I am looking forward to trying again in a few months ? thank you Bob for your assistance today!
T	Tomato Potato on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In my younger years I used to work for Joe Rockheads when it was owned by Bob and Sharon and managed by Meagan. I spent so much time in climbing gyms (Rock Oasis, TCA) doing pretty much everything. I always hope that a climbing gym would open in the East because in the past it was mostly Joe Rockheads and Toronto or nothing. Here comes Aspire Climbing, a gym that is truly well thought out. As soon as my daughter and son said, they wanted to go climbing, I immediately searched a gym around where we live. Rock Oasis in Ajax was the only option before but as soon as we toured the Aspire climbing gym, I signed up the next day. The (1) price is reasonable, compared to the gyms in Toronto, (2) the staff are friendly so please treat them with respect. The difficulty of the (3) walls (Lead/top rope and bouldering) are fairly graded so kudos to the route setters. (4) Cleanliness is good. The overall vibe is friendly and a lot of young and strong climbers, so don’t feel overwhelmed and intimidated. Just have fun, I know my family and I are. :)
B	Balaji Devaraj on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great activity with kids & family. We loved this place. Experienced novice & intermediate rated ones. Best part is you can try until you're tired. Expecting more visits in future.
P	Philip Kelley (philk647) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took my son and daughter to Aspire yesterday to try out climbing. I'd climbed before, but not for a number of years. The facility was clean and organized. The staff were knowledgeable and courteous. My son loved climbing on the auto-belay routes and trying out bouldering. My daughter quickly gravitated to the Ninja course and had a great time using it. We also enjoyed watching some of the more experienced climbers tackle routes on the large bouldering area. We stayed for over 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely will be back.
J	Janice McG on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely an amazing facility! The booking process was easy....didn't realize we had more than the 2hr block of time that we booked (Covid protocols). The employee that did the belay lessons were very patient and thorough, the employee that demo'd the Ninja course was great as well. Great place for families, first dates, new and advanced climbers. Will definitely come back and consider the membership.
r	rosemary puddicombe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lot of fun had by the 6 of us. There is a mini ninja course which was a hit with the kids, a challenging warped wall for adults (a smaller one for younger kids) Staff are all really nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend
