Treetop Trekking

Treetop Trekking

First time at tree top trekking. Staff was friendly wasn't packed on a Saturday afternoon. Very…read moresafe high up in the trees. The only thing is the hight system, if you are under 60" inches tall you can only do 3 courses. Besides that it was fun and reasonable price.

For the Tree Trekking all customers are by appointment. Your are time slotted for instructional…read morelessons on how to use your equipment safely. After that you are instructed to start on the easiest courses and work your way through. What is not disclosed is that you have to sign an additional waiver when your inside (aside from the one on arrival). The odd thing is that it is just a notebook and the student employees just ask you did you do all the other courses before attempt the most advanced course. It's pretty loosey goosey, instead of this system a stamp system should be used or a passport system because if they are using this for liability is a signature request under duress (is what I understand from my legal eagle knowledge). Considering the risk, I would say more needs to be done. The whole course are supervised and the summer hired students are trained to radio each other when a new person is going on the course. The two customer limit on platform are loosely reinforced. I did find that some of the platforms were short on the landing for the mini zipline sections. And on the course the student hires warned us it's slippery because it was wet. Perhaps add some slip grips just because you're flying in at high speed into the landing in some cases (especially when you're pretty large). Good things is that if you wanted the zipline experience you get it through the whole course. You can get away with just paying for the whole course. If you're a parent you may want to go in and just have a look how things are run before putting your kids through the track for the peace of mind. The other thing is that you also want to have a telephoto lens on your slr if you're watching from the ground or hookup your child with a go pro for the fun of watching later. Overall difficulty was intermediate. I think to level up try the course without holding on anything. This was my first time doing this. I would have preferred more physical challenges on the course. There are washrooms behind the sign in cabin. Two toilets in the female. But if you want cleaner go back to the resort. So I rated this four star for the following reason. 1. Price point is steep on a single visit, even with coupons. Season pass may be better; 2. The course liability on-site could be better, I just wonder what happened if there was an accident and if the location did enough to protect customers; 3. The course is full of student employees, surely trained well. But considering young kids on the course a few adult staff would make it feel safer. There were times when I know none if the staff we watching me because I was sloppy on the security straps-without realizing until my date warned me (thanks); 4. Washrooms are not clean on the premise of the trekking. Go to horseshoe resort.

We are a family of 3 (2 adults and a 10 yo) who are new to climbing, so when I called to inquire…read moreabout their offerings, Jeff, encouraged us to come in to check out the facility in person. The facility is clean, albeit being on the small side which does not affect our time there at all, as we're just starting to learn. Both times we were there, we were lucky enough to have the place mostly to ourselves and we've been having lots of fun on the auto-belays. Jeff is very personable and laid back, which is really nice, because the last thing I wanted was having someone hovering over me as I ungracefully try to maneuver my way up the colour coded path. We'll continue to learn here and I am looking forward to trying out their summer camp for my daughter soon.

There are two Rock Oasis gyms in the city, one in Toronto and the other in Ajax. The Ajax location…read moreis actually located inside of the Ajax Community Centre. The photo on Google Maps of the entrance isn't actually the one I was able to enter from. If you're facing the entrance where it says "banquet hall" (that's where it'll take you in the nav), walk to the left until you see another set of doors. Once you walk in there's hanging signage that will say "rock climbing". Follow these and you should start seeing signs for "Rock Oasis". Pretty easy from there! There's a little counter where you can take care of your rentals and payment. The staff member that I was greeted by was already expecting me! I had booked online the night before and signed the waiver. In the same hallway there's a set of doors that leads directly into the rock climbing area. There are cubbies to store your gear at the bottom of the stairs. Right by it was a hand sanitizing station although they had some other bottles spread throughout the climbing area on benches. It's a veryyy small climbing area! you can see everything at a glance. The walls also don't get super high which is good for beginners since you won't get as tired going all the way up. There are only 3 auto belays so it gets crowded if you're climbing alone. There is a lot of bouldering available. Since they have limited space, they had to be imaginative with their puzzles. Most of them take the approach of moving horizontally across a wider range of space rather than going up. The bouldering and the top rope walls cross over each other so on a busy day it would be more difficult to maneuver. The bouldering paths are graded by difficulty and they have a colour coding system. I will say that just because they are traversed horizontally doesn't mean that they're easier than the ones at other gyms! It's still a great challenge. Overall the gym is great for the community and located in an accessible place at a reasonable price. However it's very small. If you don't have the place all to yourself, I could find it really hard to get access to the walls you're interested in. You also probably couldn't spend that much time here if you are an experienced climbing.

The next climbing gym on my list was the Toronto Climbing Academy. This gym is located in an…read moreindustrial area that is close to a few cookie factories so it might smell exceptionally good near by. It seems like they don't have great airflow inside the gym (no air conditioning possibly?) because we went on a hot day and they had all the doors open to try and keep it cool. The staff here are really friendly! They took the effort to get to know me during my session which was different from other places that I've been to. They have all manner of climbing here. Bouldering, autobelay, top rope, and lead climbing. When I visited, there weren't any grades for one section of the autobelays, not sure why. There were labels around the rest of the gym though. Overall the facility itself seemed a little bit older but a good gym to check out if you want a well-rounded climbing experience.

We recently came here thanks to my lovely friend (and her hubs) who got is in with their membership…read moreperks. We had gone climbing previously but nothing where we had to belay or tie knots a lot. I had gone to another climbing gym and found the experience a bit too overwhelming for me and I had written off climbing as "one of those things I'm not good at". Coming here was a breath of fresh air, it was spacious, calm and wasn't intimidating. Thanks to my friend who also made us feel super comfortable with any issues or questions we had. The staff were super nice and the owner himself, Chris, gave us our belay test and gave us a refresher on belaying. We knew how to tie the standard knots but not too familiar with the belay devices they used there. Chris was super nice and patient. Not once did I feel pressured or inexperienced. The gym itself offers tons of different types of walls along with bouldering with different levels. We climbed, we rested on and off for about 2-3 hrs. It was quiet that Saturday morning. I cannot say on what it's like in the evening. Definitely will be back! Thanks for such a great experience!
