The walls are high and challenging! It's a great workout that doesn't feel like doing exercise

The tallest walls in Toronto

Rock Oasis is where I started climbing and I continue to go back regularly. It's a great place for beginners - call ahead to book a lesson - and they offer kids' birthday parties (which I do recommend avoiding if you're not part of the party). They have the highest climbing routes of any of the indoor gyms in the city, in two 60-foot towers, and several bouldering areas. The changing area includes lockers (bring your own lock), changerooms, washrooms and showers, and they sell some snacks and drinks at the front desk. Beginners can rent shoes (bring a pair of thin socks) and a harness.

Rock Oasis

Rated this place:

Rock climbing is a great activity, and great way to get exercise and of course lot's of fun. They have high safety standards so no need to be scared if you have not done so before. An excellent way to focus on something else besides the stresses of daily life. Great arm workout--and great activity to do in the winter months when it's cold outside!

Rated this place:

Sure it's a bit cramped in there, but the climbs are long, the prices are a little cheaper than the other gyms, and the instructors are cool and helpful.

Smelly are the changerooms, crowded are the walls, and costly are the climbing fees. None of this stops me from making Rock Oasis my gym of choice. It's insanely convenient: right downtown, open 365 days a year, until 11pm on weeknights. Also your fellow climbers are beautiful artworks of muscle and the folks behind the desk are kind, mellow and patient with beginners. Don't let the sardine-like atmosphere on weekends or the inferno-like heat in the summer months put your off.
