My favourite climbing gym so far. It's big, doesn't get too crowded, has a nice open cafe area, a…read moregym area to warm up, and lots of challenging climbs. I really enjoy coming here with friends. The staff is very friendly and if it's your first time they explain the rules and guide you on the different areas of the gym. You can rent shoes and a chalk bag, they have a nice shop area as well if you want to buy any of your own gear. Their entryway could use a bit of a change since in the winter I find it gets really wet with all the boots and they run out of hangers because of the heavy winter coats, but other than that it's good!

A good, small climbing gym that's on the outskirts of Montréal. They have two indoor bouldering…read morewalls and one outside, but we weren't able to check out the latter as it was raining pretty hard. We were only able to climb the top out bouldering wall on the lower floor as they were changing the routes on the bouldering wall upstairs (not top out). There're more top-roping options than bouldering, and lead routes have the least available (understandable). I find it more worth it top-rope, so if you're new to the gym or visiting I would go with someone who can belay. As for the boulders themselves, they are graded based on circuits (V0, V0-V2, V2-V4, etc.; the grading scale is accurate). There were no V0s when we went, and there were 2 V0-V2s and 2 V2-4s, so if you're looking for a place more beginner-friendly, I would look elsewhere. Most of the climbs were advanced, so I would recommend being around V4 and above to make your visit(s) here worth it.

I'm still very new to climbing but I enjoy going here because it's close and well located to me. In the summer I'm excited to try out their outdoor terrace! I like that they have a cafe area for after if you wanna stay and catch up with friends. Shoe rentals are about $8 and a day pass is $26 so not too expensive. It does get very crowded on weekends and rush hour during the week so keep that in mind if you wanna visit.

Being new to this sport they offer for you to rent climbing shoes and a harness very easily at Le crux for inexpensive. Bring socks. They have many options for day pass, a set # of visits and 1/2 year or annual passes. I started this challenging new sport in the summer time and noticed on a few visits this summer that they do many day camps for young kids. Beware as on the camp days over by the ninja warrior gym those walls can get fairly busy. On the first visit you must sign their waiver and have an intro by a staff member. The process does take a bit of time and thus if there is a big group upon arrival the entrance can get backed up a bit when you arrive. Stay patient. The fun is about to begin. I usually do a bit of top roping at different degrees of difficulty and then go for some bouldering. Bouldering is more difficult and harder on the hands. Working on building up endurance and strength. My average visit is usually around three hours. After that my hands feel sore and chafed. For some of these guys/ girls who are more advanced it's pretty amazing to watch them climb. They make climbing up the walls look so easy! It's like a monkey chasing after a stash of bananas at the top. Oh how I wish this sport was around when I was a scrawny skinny teenager! It would have been easier when I was pounds lighter. :) The complex is quite large with lots of different options from beginner to quite difficult! There is bouldering on the main floor and second floor. Also on the second floor is a gym for strength training. The do sell climbing shoes and chalk in powder and block format. Also there is a cafe with quick healthy prepared food options. Also the have areas where you can sit at a picnic bench, eat a lunch and take in some of the bouldering action. Le crux has announced a new location coming soon in a laval . So I can't wait to see see how it's planned out different. Also hopefully they allow you have access to visit both locations with a membership. It's a great sport and great activity to take young kids along with to burn off some steam. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I found this place on Trip Advisor and decided to check this place out since it was near my hotel…read more It is an old looking climbing gym and was pretty empty when I got there. Apparently, they expanded the gym so the layout is a little weird, kind of like a maze. Since I didn't go with a climbing partner, I was only able to boulder, which I needed to get accredited first. That took about 20 minutes to get introduced to the gym and bouldering safety. Unlike the climbing gyms in the U.S., you need to bring your own rope or rent a rope if you want to top rope or lead climb. The rating system for bouldering is by letters instead of V#s, but it didn't really matter since the writing on the tapes had smudged off so you don't know what you're climbing besides the two easiest colored routes, white and blue. The main bouldering section is this huge rock formation in the center of the gym. Topping off can be a little intimidating since it does go very high and seems very reachy. I wish I could have tried rope climbing here, but I'm not sure if I'll be back to this climbing gym.

This gym has a small bouldering section that you can just drop in and use, but most of the gym…read morereally requires them to certify you with a rope. I was in the area so I showed up to check it out, but it was basically deserted and there were no staff there that could belay for me, nor do the certification. So my rating reflects the low value for price for just bouldering - I suspect it's much better if you are able to come with a partner and climb with the ropes, or do lead climbing.

This is my go-to climbing gym in Montréal, not the least because it's close, but also because it…read morehas an excellent climbing community, has constantly refreshed routes, and all the yoga and classes are included. They also have pass hold options and student discounts. The gym includes a small warm-up zone with a stationary bike, mats, campus board, hangboard, and some freeweights. The routes themselves are inventive and offer fantastic progression and technique development, a good combination of modern and outdoor technique, which is what keeps me coming back. Routes themselves are fairly graded, and are marked for different styles (power, balance, mixed technique, etc). The lead climbing progression is superb. That said, this is a smaller gym (as gyms go) so climbers expecting a massive warehouse space or a super large bouldering zone should look elsewhere. The roped routes are decently tall however, and there are good lead options available with roofs and overhanging climbing on several walls. There are a few things the gym could improve on: * As of 2025/2026, the boulder cave is not as updated as frequently as it used to be. When I first started climbing here several years ago, one half of the boulder cave was updated every two weeks, which was awesome. But in Summer/Fall 2025, the entire cave went without routes changing for ~8 weeks, and this seems to have stuck. Much more time is spent on updating the roped routes (especially for competitions, which can reduce available gym routes significantly, so check the calendar before going). So just be aware roped climbing is the priority here. * Safety with kids. There is a lack of climbing etiquette with children, including with the gym's own classes and teams. I have seen kids running circles around the gym, playing with ropes and belay gear, and rolling around on the ground. I have seen toddlers and babies in the belay/climbing zones. This is risking serious injury or death. This is a broader climbing culture issue. The staff are aware of feedback here and I hope are better instructing their instructors on how to handle children and teach them safe etiquette. * Be aware that the boulder cave can be overtaken with classes of kids at 5pm. I feel this should be clearly marked on the website / public schedule. If you arrive around 5pm, you will encounter classes of kids 3 of 5 days of the work week. Unfortunately the kids' classes need to be taught some etiquette in respecting other users of the boulder cave. That said, treat the kids with respect--I love to see the sport progress--and show them how it's done! * Even outside of classes, the boulder cave can be filled with unsupervised children, despite a sign on the door saying kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Just something to be aware of. I find being assertive and safe is best. Overall a great gym, and I enjoy climbing here as a regular!

I do a fair bit of rock climbing in Toronto and want to put it out there that Toronto top rope rock…read moreclimbing is not at all the same as it is in Montreal. I came in super confident that I'll just quickly pass the belay test and try out the ropes. Nope. Their belaying system setup is entirely different. Be prepared to bring your own ATC or grigri, which you will have to know how to install, since only the ropes are hanging on each climb. And you also have to know how to tie the 8-figure knot and they are super strict with the knots, very unlike Toronto. The barrier to top roping is much higher at this gym. I totally failed my belay test given I had no idea it would be so different! I did some bouldering the first time here (since I failed the belay test). The bouldering section is upstairs and quite small but still a decent size to try for an entire session. It might get a bit boring if I had to see the same wall on more than one session. The setting was a bit awkward with most routes kind of similar with a reachy and overhang feel to it, which is fine, but a bit more variety would be nice. I did eventually come back to pass the top roping belay test and finally try the top rope. The walls are very high, my friend guesstimated it to be 80ft high, whatever that means. It's certainly higher than gyms that I usually frequent. Their top rope climbs are where it is at! Very interesting and challenging climbs for many levels. Women's change rooms are also impressive and nicely finished and very clean looking. The best change room I've experienced so far at a rock climbing gym.
