What climbers say about Up The Bloc

4.7 out of 5from 460 reviews on Google

“Very clean, well maintained, great route setting… Free parking that gets filled up on Sundays by churchgoers. The only minor nitpick is that they don't have lockers but use open cubbies instead.”

Google review,

“Settings have a lot of dynos and some good stuff for training. However when I started flashing v3 and progressing into v4 I realized that about 1/3 of the routes don’t consider short people at all.”

Google review,

“A bouldering only climbing gym with a large exercise area filled with bars and weight plates… The washrooms and the changing area are limited in size and open to all genders.”
