Saputo Climbing Centre

Climbing in Martensville

The Saputo Climbing Centre is the climbing wall inside the Martensville Recreation Centre, the city's new multi-sport complex on the west side of the Highway 12 overpass, a short drive north of Saskatoon. The centre opened in stages from autumn 2024 and is managed by Nustadia Recreation. The wall is named after the dairy company Saputo, whose $50,000 Legacy Program gift helped to pay for it.

The main wall is a plywood face with eight auto-belay lines and routes of varying difficulty. Every climber must use the auto-belays, as no other roped climbing is allowed. Beside it is a small beginner bouldering area for climbing without any equipment. Harnesses are provided; bring clean indoor trainers.

Visiting

• Drop-in climbing runs from October to May, with no booking needed and up to 16 climbers at a time. From June to September the wall is open for private bookings only.
• Drop-in times change with the centre's bookings, so check the online calendar before you go.
• Every climber signs a waiver (a parent or guardian signs for under-18s), completes an orientation and passes an auto-belay test with a member of staff.
• Climbers must be at least 6 years old and weigh between 22 and 330 lb, and children under 10 need a carer aged 16 or over.
• Private parties and team-building events can be booked by email.
