J	Jacob Grossbard on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Aviary is awesome. There's a lot of climbing in a small space, people are friendly, and because it's volunteer-run, it's CHEAP.
M	Maysa Kazemi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ great climbing gym for students, cheap membership!
Y	Yona Cohen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small and modest climbing gym for UBC students and staff operated by VOC volunteers located at the this floor of students building, offers both top rope and lead climbing routs. Cheap membership, its recommended to bring your own harness and climbing shoes. Sometimes too crowded. Also offers beginners classes. For exchange students- great place to climb and meet friends and climbing partners
J	Jeff Christenson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hard to find, no posted hours (nor consistent hours), volunteer only means unreliable hours and availability.
R	Robyn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staff as enthusiastic to help, teach and even climb with you. They offer smiles and great conversation. The gym itself is tiny and if you have performance anxiety you won't do well here where the entire gym is essentially a hallway with 50ft tall walls. The routes are nice but the place often is too full to get in and you have to start lining up 30 minutes before it opens which isn't worth it for a small gym. UBC! PUT MORE MONEY INTO YOUR CLIMBING GYM!
J	Joe W on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great small climbing gym for students run by friendly volunteers! Things to know before you go for the first time: You'll need to sign a waiver. If you plan on belaying you will need to take a test before you can (of course). They also have lessons although they're usually booked pretty far in advance. They also have equipment you can rent. The cost is cheap and they have drop in or memberships. Although honestly if you're planning on climbing multiple times the membership is worth it. It is small so it can get crowded easily. Also ALWAYS check the schedule any time you go. They have semi-regular hours, but sometimes what seems to be a usual time will be closed one week.
