Meilleurs écoles d’escalade dans Montreal : trouvez des options près de chez vous

From the outside, Bloc Shop Chabanel might seem unassuming, but step inside, and you’ll discover a bouldering paradise. The space is massive — large enough to accommodate numerous dozens of climbers without ever feeling crowded.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, Bloc Shop has routes tailored to every skill level. They keep things fresh by regularly updating the routes, sometimes even daily, so there’s always a new challenge to tackle.

Not ready to commit to buying gear? No worries — they offer equipment rentals, so you can give climbing a try without investing upfront. And if you decide to dive in, the on-site shop has everything you might need.

Beyond the climbing walls, they also have cardio and strength training equipment, making it easy to warm up, cool down, or cross-train to build your climbing fitness.

The staff are not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable, ready to offer advice or help you refine your technique. And if you work up an appetite, they’ve got food and beverages available to keep you fueled.

The hours are fantastic, too: open from 8 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week, so you can fit in a climb whenever it suits your schedule.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would. I wholeheartedly recommend Bloc Shop Chabanel to anyone even remotely curious about bouldering — it’s an exceptional experience from start to finish.

I like the gym, a little bit more compy than I would like but still fun, lots to do as a v7/v8 climber.
The coffee does make it a 5/5 experience, the Batista on Monday made me a delicious flat white.

This gym does hold a special place in my heart as it is the first time I tried bouldering and was not able to do a single v3 back in 2018. So I like coming back here every year or two for benchmarking 🙂

Perfect places even for beginners like me.
I am new for climbing for two months, today is the first time I visit here.

1. Clean. For this size of gym, it’s really amazing that they mange to keep it super clean.

2.Nice staff. I feel welcomed.

3.Reasonable price. I used to go to a much smaller nice gym but they are the same price with here.So I consider this place is not expensive at all.

4.Route settings are fun!first of all, you have the chance to be introduced by different kind of routes or hand holds form V 1-2, for example, they set some sloper route for V2 level which helped me a lot to get familiar with this kind of holds, that didn’t happened in every gym, the one I used to go always put slopers into V3 or above.

I felt That I have a good connection with the route setters when I am dealing with the problems, they don’t just randomly throw some jugs on the wall and call it v1-v2. You can feel the effort on every each holds they set.

And even for beginners like me can tell a difference!

Overall nice place! 5 stars for sure. Only downside is too far away from my place and metro stations

EDIT (April 2025): Bloc Shop reinstated the V-Scale grades. Thank you. Bloc Shop is a great bouldering and training gym in Montreal. The staff is amazing and the culture even better.

I really enjoy climbing at Bloc Shop—it’s a fantastic gym with a great atmosphere, team, route setters and problems. However, I do want to share my feedback regarding their recent change from the V-Scale to their own color-based grading system. While I understand the desire to have more balanced grading system, the V-Scale is already a widely recognized system that, despite its imperfections, provides consistency across different gyms. The new system doesn’t necessarily solve existing issues like the difference between V3 and V4 or V5 and V6 which are in two different intervals now, and it makes it harder to gauge progress, celebrate flashes and sends. You had a hybrid approach before, was removing the V-Scale such an issue for the route setters ?

We enjoy climbing here. Everyone is really friendly, respectful, and encouraging. Our son especially loves this location. Highly recommended if you love to Boulder. Routes are changed frequently, offering a constant amount of new challenges and projects to work on. A large variety of guide books for Québec, Canada, USA, and Europe are available. Along with shoes and other gear

Last weekend we visited Montreal and we went to try this bouldering gym. Our experience was pleasant, employees were kind and the routes were great, providing a mix of different styles of boulders. The daily pass was $22. They also have espresso drinks.

Definitely recommend to try.

From the 4 boulder gyms I’ve visited this is the biggest of them. Very clean and has lots of routes and a good variance in difficulty. It’s the cleanest gym aswell. Getting there might take some time though. Had a great time.

Très bon centre d’escalade. Ils ont mis du temps à renouveler leur matériel mais le font progressivement. La salle pour travailler les pb est toujours fermée. Il n’y a plus de service de ressemelage. Moins dynamique que les autres centres. Personnel agréable.

Gros coup de coeur, je me suis découvert un nouveau hobby.

Accueil et explications parfaite, ils ont pris le temps de faire visiter et bien expliquer les options.

Le local est grand, propre et moderne. Le choix de montée est impeccable et beaucoup d’options pour les débutants comme moi.

J’ai suivi un cours d’initiation et je peux dire que je suis impressionné par le professionnalisme et la passion de l’instructeur.

Le prix des équipements est aussi très compétitif.

Que du beau, belle ‘montée’ à la gang du AllezUp!

Great place to climb. We went during the day middle of the week so it wasn’t busy. The cost without the belay tests was $45 for one person for one day. So not super cheap for just a few hours. If you want to belay someone, you have to take their mini class and do the rest and that cost some extra money.. I think $60 with belay test. But they have free shoes and harnesses to use so that’s really convenient. If you don’t take the belay test then you can not belay but they have 10 routes that you can climb with auto belay and they have the bouldering blocks but these can be hard for beginners.

Had a great time climbing here! Keep in mind they require you to bring/rent a belay device to use the top ropes. Super fun top rope/lead sets, the boulders were fine but this is definitely a sport climbing gym first and foremost. Also Greg was super awesome and was helpful to me and a couple of my friends who were a bit newer to top rope during our test. Would love to try the silo climbs when they open up later this summer!

Great full body workout, challenging my fear of heights. I like this location, clean and well maintained. Respectful environment.

Overall climbing experience was fun! Top rope routes were accessible to beginners like myself. This would have been a 5 star experience if it weren’t for the super condescending belay test instructor. He also provided my other friend rude attitude upon his service. Greg was chill though, shoutout Greg.

One day walking down the canal we saw someone climbing up the Silo and were immediately intrigued. Finally came with a work friend during lunch and now I’ve got a membership.

So far we’ve only gone for bouldering, but there’s a lot of good variety ! They change the courses every few weeks and there’s two indoor areas and an outdoor one. As a short beginner there’s a lot that are out of my literal reach, but I think I’m getting better and it’s a fun challenge. It’s pretty empty during the weekday lunch hour as you can imagine, but pretty busy after work. Will be going for the belay course soon.

Very spacious and clean bouldering gym ! I found the setting was fun and accessible for everyone. Most walls are inclined so it’s a good place to build strength.
I love the cafe area, their oatmilk latte is great !
The training area is very spacious, but it still gets a little bit crowded there.
The locker rooms are amazing, sooo clean. It smells like the spa in there. The showers feel luxurious.
Only downside is that the air in the bouldering area is a little bit stagnant… The chalk kind of stays in the air and we breathe all of it.
The crowd there is a little bit older and I found that there were quite a lot of families and kids compared to some other bouldering gyms. Everyone was respectful and followed the safety rules. Climbers are on the reserved side.
I enjoyed my climbing session and I will definitely come back !

First time climbing. Great experience and excellent service. All the employees were very kind. Cool little gym for cardio, weightlifting, calisthenics in the back.

It’s huge, really good climbs and also has a really good space for working out. As a visitor was pleasantly surprised by their weekly pass, only 35CAD which is a steal. Also has a nice spot for food and drinks. Will be coming back whenever I visit MTL again.

Qui aurait cru qu’un lieu su’l bord de Notre-Dame allait devenir mon havre de paix? L’ambiance est sua coche, le staff est friendly et agréable à toute heure de la journée. Très Queer friendly, moi ça m’importe peu mais je trouve ça pertinent de le mentionner. La bouffe est bonne, les murs sont le fun et changent relativement souvent donc on ne se tanne pas facilement, et je suis quelqu’un qui y va à chaque jour, ça vous donne une idée! La plus grosse erreur que j’ai pu faire c’est de ne pas y être aller avant lorsque des collègues m’en parlait il y a un an.

On se sent le bienvenue à chaque fois, le staff sont passionnés, ils donnent des conseils même si y sont là dans leur temps personnel, donc pas sur le payroll.

Ive been climbing for about 2 years and I loved the routes here. Everything is clean and they offer free soft chalk. Found the climbs to be a little more dynamic but they flowed really smoothly. I would go here as my main/regular gym if I lived here. The gym is big and has a workout area complete with weights and pullup bars at the back. About $20 for day pass plus $5 for rentals. Friendly but more intermediate type of vibes

Petite critique constructive un des routesetters se répète dans les problèmes qu’il ou elle créée! notamment je trouve qu’il y a beaucoup de pieds hauts sur la pointe de volumes. il y a d’autres mouvements que je vois souvent mais c’est celui qui me saute aux yeux. Sinon super gym!

Ma place préféré pour aller faire de l’escalade. C’est grand et les vendredi ce n’est pas cher. Le seul problème c’est que la nourriture est un peu trop cher pour ce que c’est et j’aimais mieux leur grille cheese d’avant, je crois qu’il les ont changer. Mais encore, c’est super pour l’escalade 🙂

Trop cher, pas aligné sur les prix des autres piscines. 19 $ pour une entrée unique. À ce prix, vestiaires au strict minimum (pas d’espaces privés et pas de savon fourni).

La piscine est cependant correcte, avec pas mal d’équipement et la présence constante de maîtres nageurs.

La salle de muscu est un peu petite, mais parfait pour ne pas être découragée lorsqu’on commence! La conseillère est full gentille, elle vient te donner des conseils si elle voit que tu ne fais pas ton mouvement comme il faut. Le soir, beaucoup de monde très sociable. Le matin, très tranquille, peu de monde.

Very nice place for sports activities (outdoor and indoor), ideal for kids and families and even a place for birthdays.

Plateau fermé sans avis d’avance. Accréditation d’escalade obligatoire pour grimper mais impossible de réserver ou obtenir. Sauna, spa ou bain froids constamment en réparation depuis une décennie. J’adore le CEPSUM, mais je suis constamment déçu de la gestion de leurs installations et de leur communication avec leurs membres alors que le prix de l’abonnement justifierait des efforts plus marqués à cet égard.

Un accès direct depuis le métro au CEPSUM est un avantage majeur pour les cours. Cependant, soyez averti que la porte ne s’ouvre pas 30 minutes avant le cours si vous n’êtes pas membre. Le processus d’inscription en ligne est simple, mais l’obtention du code-barres imprimé a été laborieuse, nécessitant quatre visites à la réception. Les saunas sont souvent bondés et bruyants, mais malgré cela, de nombreuses activités sont disponibles pour compenser. Les casiers sont réservés à la location.

Beau complexe sportif au coeur du campus de l’université de Montréal.
Complet en termes de terrains de sports et d’activités.

Personnel disponible et lieux bien entretenus.

Les horaires d’ouverture sont larges ce qui est appréciable (7h-23h).

Présence dans les locaux du café Kine, agréable pour une pause.

Large sports complex belong to university de Montreal. It boosts large sports arena, gym, track fields and bouldering plus work out spaces.
Really large and spacious although the building was constructed 50 years ago, mostly cement interiors , it is nice with many choices of sports that you can participate and practice in the same space.

J’ai pris un cours débutant et j’ai adoré mon expérience! 😀 Tout le personnel était sympathique et la personne qui a donné le cours était super compétente et à l’écoute. Je n’avais jamais fait fait d’escalade auparavant et j’ai pu participer au cours sans problème. Pour un cours de 3 heures avec un petit groupe je trouve que le prix était bien. Merci!

The route setting used to be varied – including old school style, highly technical climbing – now it seems to be mostly huge coordination moves, all dynamic and “instragramable” problems… lots of people filming themselves.. miss the old route setting!

A nice gym with a good sized cafe area. The setting was fun and challenging. It can get hard to navigate when it gets busy which is normal in many gyms. And the workout/gym area is quite small which can feel quite cramped when 4 or more people are using it.

Overall good experience, I’ll definitely be back.

Such a cool gym, incredible vibes, super interesting and technical sets. Their shoe selection is impressive, and the cute cafe area is a super nice detail!

The place is nice and big, but still gets very busy so there’s a little waiting for each area. Overall, nice experience, will come back! 🙂

Upsetting experience tonight at Cafe Bloc. I came by with two friends, one of which wasn’t going to climb, and will never climb but wanted to hang out and support us. She was forced to buy a full $28 day pass to watch. When our group reacted in a shocked manner, the front staff was rather cold and did not want to even talk with us further.

I see in other reviews that this is the reason 90% of time this gym gets low ratings. I have never heard of this business model before, and honestly, if this is what “helps to cultivate a community of passionate climbers,” I think this is the antithesis policy to make that happen. Yes, I understand limiting “extras” when it’s busy, but maybe some flexibility would be nice depending on how busy the place is at the time. I am a passionate climber who values the climbing community, and this is just not it. Never going back, felt scummy and just looking for money.

Cafe Bloc is my favorite bouldering gym so far. They offer drinks and snacks, and the general ambiance is amazing ! There are quite a lot of walls and levels for everyone.
I love that they have two areas for stretching and a mini gym with weights and bars.

The place looks clean and cozy, with plants and paintings on the wall, some sofas to lounge while you rest or watch other people climb.
I would recommend trying their oat milk lattes !

They also have a terrasse on the roof with one extra wall during summer and some chairs and hammocks.

Like in most bouldering gyms, people are very friendly and helpful. ❤️

They have nice showers and a small locker room.

Great shoes selection.

One of my favorite things is their shared sauna. It’s the reward after the session ! I think every gym should have one !

Insane setting and an incredibly hype staff! The routes are dynamic and comp-style, always keeping things fresh and exciting. Never a disappointment—every visit is a blast!

One of my favourite climbing gyms in Montreal. Super clean, the setting is always creative and fun. Staff is attentive and kind.
Big plus: they make the best coffees ever (better than most coffee shops in Montreal)!

We decided to try bouldering for the first time. Staff was amazing and helpful, the facilities are amazing, we had a ton of fun climbing and came back a week later to do it again, this time signing up for one of the multi visit packages. The overall mood is so chill and positive, including the other people, what a great experience. Thanks to the staff for creating this awesome space.

Love this gym! Staff is so friendly and they have a tap-out wall, which is plus points for me. They’re grading system is intuitive, and their walls are fun. Fair notice, their slabs are challenging, but it definitely is enjoyable! I’m from Ontario, and I can confidently say that I would come back again, for sure.

Meilleure place en ville pour effectuer de l’escalade. L’ambiance est superbe et le personnel est accueillant. Je recommande à tous. Le personnel effectue un changement de section à toute les semaines sur une période de 4 semaines. Donc du nouveau toutes les semaines. Par contre, nous avons assez de temps pour relever des défis. Génial

Le seul point négatif est qu’il est loin de chez moi, j’en voudrais un plus proche, genre à Vaudreuil. C’est une de mes places d’escalade préféré. Les employés sont fins, les promotions sont intéressantes, il y a un menu si tu as faim et les blocs sont beaux et d’un bon niveau. J’adore cet endroit.

I cannot recommend this gym enough! All of the staff were great. It was my partner and I’s first time there and Gab made us feel very welcome. While we had a break and grabbed a snack Gab asked us about our climbs and it was a lovely interaction, made the climb that much more special. And the setting was incredible! I was climbing 1s and 2s and trying a few 3s, and you could tell every climb had thought and consideration put into it. They were all fun and different, this gym really is great for all levels of climbers. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Montreal! Thanks Beta Bloc!

Très grand centre d’escalade et de bloc ! Ils offrent les formations requises pour grimper et propose beaucoup d’activités pour les jeunes. Le personnel est courtois et professionnel, l’espace est très propre, et les voies sont bien faites. Je recommande fortement pour ceux et celles dans l’est de Montréal !

Première expérience très décevante et leur façon de procéder est compliquée. Leur formulaire d’inscription et décharge sont desués (impossible de signer).
Pour réserver le MONTANT TOTAL pour tous les participants EST EXIGÉ payable uniquement par carte de crédit.
J’accompagnais un ami et puisqu’il a été mal renseigné dès le départ, l’activité de 2h ne s’est pas déroulée comme prévu. Donc, j’ai eu un crédit de 29$, AUCUN remboursement.*
Je tenais à utiliser mon crédit pour 2 essais, cependant le responsable (Daniel) a refusé catégoriquement la possibilité de payer la 2e entrée sur place.
En partant, la personne à l’accueil a omis de remettre le harnais et l’information reçue par téléphone était erronée. Aucun staff n’est présent sur le terrain pour aider à vérifier les attachements pour les nouveaux clients ou pour prêter assistance au besoin. Aucune vérification n’est faite pour assurer que les grimpeurs soient à jour avec les notions de bases/accréditation.
Très personnellement, je ne RECOMMANDE PAS cet endroit pour les novices dans l’escalade. L’endroit ne m’a pas inspiré confiance et je grimpe plusieurs fois par année en plein air avec de l’équipement plus sophistiqué. Manque d’encadrement, AUCUN équipement de base n’est fourni. Tout est loué séparément $$$ (casque, corde, harnais, mousqueton, ATC, etc). Toutefois, je remercie sincèrement l’essai avec Audrey, sympathique et compétente. Étonnamment, le centre est un des seuls à posséder un mur de vitesse. Parcours d’obstacles en hauteur disponible, gym et plusieurs murs pour monter, mais la corde doit être changée à chaque fois.
*Vérifiez leur politique autrement vous risquez de perdre votre argent.*
Clientèle: familiale, surtout des jeunes enfants (4-9 ans), allaitement fait en plein milieu du terrain, poussette, enfants un peu partout parfois sans surveillance.
*NOTE: Toute personne doit ÊTRE ACCRÉDITÉE surtout si elle ne MONTE PAS, car il faut tenir la corde, savoir nouer, etc (à moins de faire du bloc).

Routes are okay but the staff is so rude. Every interaction we had with them left us baffled and it would have been better without them: they were simply unhelpful and we basically did their job. The overall atmosphere of the gym was poor. Floor was dirty from the snow, not great when you walk around in socks.

Both people at the counter were unhelpful and super cold. The gym was pretty much empty and one staff member required us to bring back the rope we had forgotten downstairs (again, the gym was empty, maybe stop sitting on your ass doing nothing?) while the other passive aggressively told us she wanted to show us how to tidy up the rope for them. Like. No offence but that’s your job, what are you paid for?

Also, you have to pay for the rope to climb, even for top rope, because of their system. I’ve been to 5 different climbing gyms and this one was by far the worst.

Went for the nuit blanche event. The lights were pretty in the dark. The Acro park attraction was fun as hell. The part where you need to crawl was a bit painful for the knees. There was also a part where you had to boulder on the wall that almost made me cry, but that’s my problem.
It was my first time bouldering so I can’t say much about the quality of the parcours, but it was fun even for a beginner. The facilities could be better. Overall, it was a great experience for me.

Super expérience pour mon cours d’autonomie en moulinette c’était génial et les voies sont variées et comporte beaucoup de difficultés pour tous les niveaux*
. Je recommande vivement.

Excellent facility and super friendly staff. Good for beginners and advanced climbers.

Nice place. It was really nice to try it out with my daughter. The lady at the desk was very welcoming. However, the employee who was showing us around and made us try the different activities seemed bothered and uninterested. I guess we’ll just go to a different climbing gym.

Came for a climb while visiting the area and was immediately in love with this climbing gym!! Interesting & well thought out routes and great additional workout gear — but honestly more importantly: everyone was so friendly, supportive and the sense of community was imbedded in the structure of the space. I wish my local climbing gym was like Shakti! I will be coming back the next time I’m in Montréal.

Super friendly gym, small but it packs a punch with plenty of blocs. The tape / colour system is hard to follow though, a serious brain workout!

More than a climbing gym… one of a kind institution. Philippe and Lacey have created such a beautiful community for climbers that’s been my safe haven for more than a year now. The standards for hard boulders are high… like really high! Shakti reminds you every time why climbing is so amazing. So many high quality boulders, training area, kilter board, friendly comps with delicious food, coffee, crack wall, the most incredible people, and still the cheapest gym in town… please take my money!

J’ai trouvé dans cette salle l’ambiance que je cherchais en arrivant à Montréal. Ce n’est pas la salle la plus grande, ni celle avec les voies les plus claires ou encore la plus adaptée à tous les niveaux, mais elle est vivante et on s’y sent bien. Tout le monde est très gentil et semble former une petite famille, ce qui rend l’expérience vraiment sympa. En tant que débutant j’y trouve mon bonheur, même si les voies les plus simples n’étaient pas données au début. Attendez-vous à devoir repérer votre voie avant de grimper, et soyez certains que si vous ne voyez pas une prise quelqu’un viendra vous aider. C’est exactement le genre de salles d’escalade que j’aime, familiale et qui respire la passion.
En bonus c’est la moins chère de Montréal.

Woohoo I love you Shakti!!!!! This gym is inclusive, friendly and truly unique. It’s me favourite gym in Montreal and let me tell you why:
1. The owners and employees are friendly
2. The problems are interesting and challenging
3. It feels like a community, not just a bunch of people in a room together

I’ve met people at the gym who taught me how to climb outdoors, belay, encouraged me to get better and give me tips to work on! When I first climbed here, it’s thanks to the friendly regulars that I wanted to keep on going even when it was hard!

La salle d’escalade la plus authentique de Montréal ! Vous y trouverez une ambiance conviviale et inclusive.
Les problèmes sont divers et variés et il ne faut pas prendre peur devant la multitude de prises colorés. Il a un reset d’un pan de mur environ chaque semaine et des reset complet tous les mois et demi.
Le nouveau Kilter et espace d’entraînement est une raison supplémentaire de prendre un abonnement au Shakti .

Belle ambiance. Le système de voies est un peu complexe, mais tu t’y sens comme à la maison.

Gym chaleureux avec une équipe de feu!

Personel à l’accueil super sympa, petit point bonus pour m’avoir donné la bêta sur une piste. Les ouvertures au moment où j’écrit sont d’extreme qualité un grand merci au ouvreur car chaque piste demande réflexion et travail different aspect très intéressant de la grimpe, un pur bonheur!

The best climbing gym for bouldering! Staff is very nice and welcoming. Problems are accessible for young kids and beginners, but there are also spicy ones for advanced climbers. Resets are frequent enough, and prices are fair (there are often great promotions). I highly recommend this gym to everyone!

A small bouldering gym offering a stunning arch to climb on !
Feel like a very friendly/welcoming gym, family-vibe and the plus is that It’s not too busy even after work.

Reset of a wall section every Friday afternoon
Very broad range of boulders from dynamic slab, overhang dyno and crimpy corner.
Adjustable kilter board (ask staff), tiny gym with a few hang board and a mat to do your stretching/abs/warmup.
The washroom and changing room are clean

If you’re new to it, I really recommend the offer ” forfait exploration “
2 weeks of unlimited climbing for only 35$ is a sweet deal and give you more than enough time to have a taste of the gym

Bel endroit, super atmosphère de gym, beau blocs! Très cool ! Employés accueillants, positifs et de bon conseil!

Edit : avec plus d’expérience d’escalade, je peux maintenant commenter sur le route setting qui est inventif et stimulant, une petite perle dans le paysage de bloc montréalais!

First time there. Been a while since I didn’t climb and so happy to be back at it. The staff was nice and it’s not too crowded. I took the 2 weeks membership for 35$.

Vraiment une belle place à découvrir! Après 3 séances malgré que je viens de commencer , j’ai toujours du plaisir. Le staff est incroyable et accueillant ! Que du positif!
Comme le dit Adam qui est un employé “c’est une bonne prise ” !

Un espace incroyable avec un service à la clientèle très attentif.

Le gens à l’accueil sont très partants à te conseiller, t’aider, te suggérer.

Il y a un ambiance chaleureux.

I recently visited Allez Up Wall Climbing Gym for the second time, this time with my 15-year-old son, and we had a fantastic experience!

The staff were friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The facility is impressive, with a gym area where you can warm up and clean restrooms. We also appreciated the option to rent climbing shoes.

They have snacks available, which were perfect for refueling after our climbs. The overall vibe was pretty chill, and we really had a great time. I highly recommend Allez Up, especially for families looking for a fun and active outing. We can’t wait to return!

First time ever doing indoor rock climbing. We arrived and were greeted by friendly front of gym staff. We were able to rent the proper footwear for a small fee. Entry cost is not bad at all and the overall vibe upon entering is very chill.
We were a group of 6 and none of us had ever done anything remotely close to rock climbing so we were a bit disappointed when there was no staff on the floor to help us in getting started or to guide us on how to climb.
The facility is super modern, clean and they have a small cafe where you can enjoy drinks and snacks.
They have restrooms and changing areas and plenty of seating around the gym.
It was a fun experience but would have been better if we had some help along the way.

I really like the setup that this bouldering place has. This place has many choices for seating, cubbies that people could use to store their shoes or bags a free weight area and clean washrooms.

However, I wouldn’t recommend this place for beginners or if you’re bringing friends to introduce them to bouldering. I find that the difficulty scaling is a little off especially with the supposed lower grade problems.

Elmer makes the BEST lattes wanted to take a pic of the amazing latte art but it was so good I COULDN’T WAIT. Come for the bouldering, stay for the oat milk lattes

It was really fun! It was my first time trying anything like it..Allez-Up Verdun has exclusively bouldering, so no harness or anything required. One of the staff gave us an overview and some safety tips and explained how to get started. We all were at varying aptitudes, but we all had fun. It can be difficult at first and use a lot of hand and arm strength, so we only stayed an hour, taking turns on the beginner setups. The kids went dozens of times, whereas I only tried about 6 times overall. There is no parking for the centre, but a close paid parking lot and paid street parking. They have bathrooms, changing rooms, storage areas for your coat and outside shoes and storage cubbies throughout the center so you can keep an eye on your stuff. The shoe rental was included for the kids price, but adults had to pay. It was approximately $9 and the climbing shoes are forgiving and even fit my very wide feet. It’s so cool that this place exists close to me!

Super beau gym, moderne et propre, bien éclairé !

Le staff est vraiment gentil et accueillant. Va même lâcher un ou deux conseils bienveillants de temps en temps.

Ils ont du café et quelques options de snacks que je n’ai pas encore essayé.

Douches et salles de bains disponibles.

Crème à main à la sortie et outils divers à la disposition de tous (produits d’hygiène féminine, coupe ongle, band-aid, élastiques à cheveux, etc, toujours apprécié)

La communauté est très sympathique.

-1 étoile parce que la section entraînement/stretching est un peu trop petite et parce que c’est un peu plus chers qu’ailleurs.
Il n’y a pas de locker ou de changing rooms.
Le gym ouvre un peu tard le matin

Good bouldering walls, clean facility, friendly staff. There are better options in Montreal (larger walls with negative pitch) however this place is well situated close to the metro. A yearly pass let’s you climb at all Allez-up locations which is another perk. If google would let me, I’d happily rate in 4.5.
