    Came here with a Groupon for a day of Drop-in Bouldering with Shoe Rentals…read more First off, staff was extremely friendly and helpful! There were a few people in front of us so we had to wait but you could tell they were really chill and pleasant to each customer. They were patient with organizing my group with waivers, Groupons and finding our correct shoe size. They were great with explaining the safety and rules of the bloudering area too. Starting off on the V0's (easy) to V8's (difficult) there was a variety of different routes to try. It was nice for beginners that there were several V0 and V0+ routes scattered around the gym area - to keep things interesting and allow us to explore the floor. Each path had it's own personality - some were easy and others made you think before you act. It was an awesome workout not only for our bodies but our problem-solving too! There are washrooms, lockers (bring your own lock), a water fountain, cubbies, and a little lounge area with a mini drink machine ($1.50 for a cup). In the end, our arms were tired and our fingertips were tender, but we left with a feeling of accomplishment and appreciation for all climbers! Learning to climb better will be my next project - Thanks Project Climbing for the first climb!

    This is the first gym out of Austin (Austin Bouldering project) I've climbed at, and I can see how…read morespoiled I am, but all things considered this is a great facility still. It's on the small to medium size and is a brand new, clean gym. There's a good variety of angled walls, from overhung cave areas to vertical slab walls with a good variety of difficulty levels from V0-V7+. Holds are clean and problem settings are decent with individual routes being pretty easy to follow thanks to color coded holds and each route is labeled with a taped grade on the beginning hold. It seems new routes are set by color weekly, with all orange routes being reset one week, and yellow problems being reset the next, for example, so it makes it easy to locate new problems for frequent members and easy to know which will be coming down soon if you're trying to finish a problem before it's gone. My main gripe however, is the lack of enough down climb holds. There are plenty of large gaps with no down climb holds nearby at the top of routes and when you're climbing beyond V1-V2 levels with big, good holds, downclimbing after an exhaustive 100% effort can be a chore at best or a bit dangerous at worst with no easy way to get down. Coupled with the fact I wasn't made to read anything or sign a waiver, this seems like a liability for the gym. I also wish the top of the wall surface was consistent. Some areas have a flat top edge while others have a narrow lip that you can more easily grip around, and it's harder to grab the flat edge when expecting the lip. There are approximately 6-7 routes for sport climbing with auto belay machines, which would be fun, but probably not enough variety to keep strictly sport climbers satisfied. I wish there were more volumes on the wall, to add more wall surface variety, and the bathrooms/locker room areas are small, but adequate, and lockers are free to use. People, employees and climbers are friendly and helpful. Overall it's a great gym.

    Love this place. It looks small at first but it's not. I spent hours here and it's good exercise…read more Tiring and challenging. They do spicy it up and change the climbs a bit. Only thing is that at the top where there is the overhang they have a white plastic pipe on the edge. It's slippery and if they put a stepper rock on the bottom, it's very hard to get access and there is no grip. But I do see the pro with those white pipe. At least you won't get scraped. They have a few auto belay. Not bad. Had a great time here. First time here free rentals. Definitely coming back

    I came here with 4 other friends with a SocialShopper deal and they were very accommodating and…read moregood with reservations. Separate parking lot but street parking available if it gets full as well. As mentioned in other reviews (and I was really hoping they were wrong) the place has a deep smell of feet when you first enter, but luckily the nose senses get overwhelmed and you get used to it after a little bit. Other than that, my first time rock-climbing was amazing! After signing our waiver forms, Christian (our instructor) came out and greeted us. He was friendly, helpful and remembered all our names in a really short time! He took us climbing walls starting with easy to medium to hard. He was very informative in what muscles we should be using, giving us tips (like keeping your arms straight as much as possible decrease fatigue), encouraging us, giving us breaks, etc.. He was very flexible in what difficulty in walls we wanted to climb and gave us tips on which rocks to use if we got stuck. We went through 4.5 walls in our 2 hours and my arms were spent. Good workout for your body and mind, to figure out the best path and determination to get to the top. Overall, super great experience and he was an amazing instructor! I would definitely climb and hang out here again!

    I've been climbing here on and off for years but I've finally decided to review this place. I came…read morehere today (02.15.2026) with my Japanese friend who was climbing for the first time. Layla helped us out and helped my friend with her orientation. She was very nice and took her time explaining things to her. Layla was overall very pleasant and lovely that I had to leave a review for this place. I've been to 20+ climbing gyms over the span of 10+ years but she was easily one of the best staff I've encountered. Aside from that, I love the sets and the feet washing station they offer. Overall a great place for all levels!

    THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE HIVE PORT COQ - Can't find the location on Yelp…read more We were excited to visit The Hive Coquitlam as a family, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I brought our 8-month-old baby with us -- obviously too young to climb or even walk. We were simply hoping to enjoy a relaxed session while taking turns climbing and keeping our baby nearby. Initially, we had our baby sitting quietly on the mat near the back traverse wall, which was not in use. We held him up briefly against a hold to take a photo (he can't climb or even stand on his own). A staff member approached us and said our baby couldn't touch the holds unless we paid for him, which felt unnecessary but we complied. He also told us the baby was ALLOWED to sit on the mat. Later, we moved to the Kilter Board area -- again, with no other climbers present -- and continued taking turns climbing while our baby sat beside us. A different staff member came over and told us babies are not allowed on the mat at all. When we mentioned what the first staff member said, she simply responded that she didn't know why he would say that. We felt like we were being shuffled around and treated as an inconvenience, despite being respectful and careful not to disrupt anyone. What was most frustrating was the inconsistent information from staff -- it left us confused and unwelcome. If The Hive has specific policies about infants in the facility, that's understandable. But those policies should be clear, consistent, and communicated respectfully. Sadly, this experience left us feeling that young families are not welcome here.

    The Aviary is both convenient and financially sound for UBC students. The cost is low for belay…read morelessons (free!), pass ($20 for 4 months, from the day you pay!) and rental ($5 for everything). The staff are very friendly and helpful. The music they play is usually good. The sunset view is wonderful from the top of a send. It does have its quirks. The biggest inconvenience is the operation hours. The place is only open on weekdays and the schedule can change from week to week. The space is small, so it could be hard to get in, and you might have to wait awhile for a free rope. However, these problems can generally be mitigated by going super early (8am) or late (closes around 10pm). I like that the holds and the wall have very nice textures for and all the holds on the same route are the same color. As an added bonus, the walls are super loud when you knock on them. This makes climbers more aware of footwork! The quality of the routes are generally good. However, some routes have strange hold distributions, where there are way too many at the bottom, and could use more near the top. Also, the difficulty for some of the moves seem to vary drastically depending on the climber's height (really simple beta and move for a tall person, creative beta and awkward move for a short person). I guess the setters are all really tall...? The ropes used to be very worn out. However, I think they used to have dynamic ropes, so that the same rope could be used for both TR and lead. I believe the new ropes for TR are all static ropes, so should last a lot longer. This does mean that you have to ask the monitor for rope if you wanted to lead climb.
