First visit & FAQ

We don’t have a reservation system. Don’t worry, our space is large enough to always welcome you!

Every climber must fill out a risk acceptance form before climbing at our facility. Fill it out online to save time during your visit!

A parent or legal guardian must fill out the form for climbers under 14 years old.

Climbing is generally suitable for children starting at age 5! However, we strongly recommend that parents accompany their children at all times to avoid any unfortunate falls.

Children aged 14 and under must be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult.

Of course! Any parent must accompany their child(ren) during the activity. There’s no fee for a parent accompanying their child.

Feel free to relax on one of our benches or in our café area to cheer on your little ones!

We are committed to making climbing accessible to as many people as possible. Several climbing routes are specially set up for beginners and young climbers to enhance learning and experience.

One of our staff members will go over the safety rules and how the gym works when you arrive.

Looking for more guidance? You can sign up for an initiation course. It lasts one hour and covers the basics of the sport and best practices for your first visits. Learn more!

It depends on the type of climbing:

Bouldering has the advantage of not requiring any certification or test. A staff member will simply explain the safety rules during your first visit. The walls are 4.5 metres high, and safety is ensured by thick mats specifically designed for this activity. This discipline is perfect for learning climbing technique and movement. It’s a sport that’s accessible to everyone—young and old, experienced or not!

For route climbing, which allows climbing up to 12 metres, there are two options:

• With auto-belay: no certification is required. However, one of our staff members will (free of charge) help you put on your harness and teach you how to use the device safely. Once you’re comfortable, you can use our 4 auto-belay devices. You climb alone, and when you fall or reach the top, the auto-belay gently lowers you to the ground. This is accessible for individuals weighing between 12 kg and 140 kg.
• With a rope: this requires solid climbing safety knowledge. These skills are taught in a 3-hour course, followed by a certification exam. Once certified, you’ll be able to access the rope walls independently.

For bouldering, good climbing shoes can make all the difference! They should fit snugly to ensure good foot placement. We offer climbing shoe rentals at the front desk. Climbing shoes are not mandatory but are strongly recommended to enhance your climbing experience. If you bring your own shoes, make sure they are clean, snug, and have no spikes!

If you plan to come regularly, you may want to purchase your own shoes to improve your performance. Check out our online store or visit our climbing gym’s front desk to get some.

For route climbing, you’ll also need a rope, harness, and belay device. Like shoes, this gear can be rented or purchased on-site.

As a cooperative, we offer discounted rates to our members as well as the opportunity to attend general meetings. Becoming a member costs $25 and is valid for life!

We invite you to visit the “Become a member” page for more info.

Absolutely! Our café area, D-Versant, offers tea, coffee, beer, various drinks, small snacks, and even a few ready-to-heat meals. Here's our menu.

Want to bring your own lunch? No problem! We provide plates, glasses, utensils, and a microwave so you can recharge between climbs.

The freeze option allows you to suspend your prepaid membership for a maximum of 1 month at a cost of $10 + tax.

For EFT memberships, it’s possible to freeze your membership for an unlimited period at a cost of $10 + tax per month.

Our route setters refresh part of the bouldering walls every week and the rope walls every 2 weeks.

Absolutely! Our resoling service, in partnership with KLMB, gives your worn climbing shoes a 2nd, 3rd, or sometimes even 4th life. However, to maximize your chances of success, we recommend stopping use as soon as the rubber starts to wear through (usually at the toe), or the shoes might be refused.

We send out batches of shoes several times a year. Ask at the front desk for more info!

At the request of our members and many families who visit the co-op, we’ve developed a fun and dynamic package to host groups of children of all ages. Visit our kids’ party page for more details.

We’ve developed several packages to accommodate school field trips as well as events for corporate groups.

All of this can take place either at the gym or on the cliff!
