Boulderz Climbing - Etobicoke

The Big Gym in Etobicoke

The Big Gym is the largest of Boulderz's three centres and the only one with top-rope and lead climbing; its sister gyms are The Junction on Dupont Street in Toronto and The Cave in Mississauga. It fills more than 27,000 square feet of a unit on The East Mall.

There are more than 150 rope climbs, with top-rope and lead lines and 13 auto-belays, alongside over 120 boulder problems, a 110-foot traverse wall and a progressive bouldering wall for young climbers. For training there is a spray wall, a Kilter Board, a MoonBoard, two treadwalls, campus boards and eight hangboard stations, and the fitness gym has weights, pull-up bars, functional training space and cardio machines.
