★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome bouldering gym where you can feel the dedication and passion the staff & owners have for climbing.
I was in town visiting family and heard some great things about this gym. I'm sport & trad climber, so I went in with low expectations, but walked out blown away. I would boulder more if more gyms were like this.
The gym is small compared to the mega gyms of Europe or the USA like KI Innsbruck, but makes the most out of every square meter with quality routes and training features.
The route setting was quality and ranged from modern style competition coordination dynos, old school crimp fests, and interesting slab problems. There were a variety of holds (probs aided by the fact that the owner also owns friction holds), so every climb felt unique.
Training wise they have campus boards, a spray wall to make up your own routes or use an app to get others routes, a moon board, and some weight racks. Anything you need to get strong.
I heard the owner also owns Joe's Rockheads which Canadian Climber Olympian Sean McColl speaks highly of, so I'll stoked to check out that next during my visit.
Keep up the great work!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great bouldering gym. Actual weights are a plus too, but a perfect amount of various difficult climbing paths to challenge all for an affordable price.
Also, super clean, and the trap playlists are bomb

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been climbing at this gym on and off since it opened, it makes a great change of pace to switch it up when my main gym starts to feel stale. The setting has generally been of high quality (the best of the half dozen or so gyms I've been to) and grading reasonably consistent.
The setting is more 'comp style' - as advertised - but still retains plenty of variety. Their use of volumes is done well such that they often add dimension to a problem rather than simply making volumes something you need to climb around.
One of the things I really like about this gym is that the style and variety of setting makes me feel like I've achieved good, all-over muscle activation after a solid session - in that it feels like climbing here makes me stronger. This is as opposed to some other gyms which seem to favour particular styles and/or particular body sizes.
There's probably better gyms around for those who are absolutely brand new to climbing, in that some other, larger gyms will have more variety to offer to newbies, but UtB is not at all unfriendly to beginners.
I generally prefer to climb low-key with fewer people in the gym, but the few events I've been to here have always been really well done. Canadian Nationals a few years ago was gang-busters.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best climbing gym I've been to in Mississauga, love it here. The community is super friendly and welcoming. Plus they reset a wall every week, so there's always something new to try.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited Up The Bloc on a quick weekend trip to Toronto. It’s a great space, using the front of the gym for a nice community area. They claim to be more comp style on their website, which I found to be true. What really impressed me though was that they had set comp style problems for all levels of climbers, including some good intro problems around V1-2ish. Next time I’m in Toronto, I’ll definitely climb here again!
