Extreme Edge

this has quickly become one of our favorite places to play. lots to do for the kids and dad enjoys it as well.

I have a lot of great memories at Extreme Edge, and it’s great for any age. It’s relatively easy to find off the the industrial Morrin Road and there’s ample parking. The space is awesome (used to be an aircraft hangar!) and there are lots of different walls to choose from. Adults beware– take a couple of other adults with you if you’re with children who are also rock-​climbing; there’s an age limit for belayers of course, and you don’t want to go the whole day without doing a bit of climbing yourself! If you’re not big on rock-​climbing and are just supervising, spectators are free– no fuss! Unlike a lot of other places, you’re more than welcome to bring your own food and drinks, but there are a few snacks and drinks available on site.
Extreme Edge charges only $ 21 for an adult, which includes climbing equipment– and you can stay all day if you like! An awesome, affordable price. I’ve found Extreme to be so much fun, even as I got older, and it’s always good to have friends you can race to the top! It’s ideal for team building and school trips that put people a little out of their comfort zone. They give you an essential lesson on your first visit, on safety procedures when belaying and climbing. I love the workout you get when climbing and you can really take your time here and get your technique right. Whether you’re a beginner or expert, this is a great place for any skill set.

I arrived here a complete novice, absolutely naïve of how to go about rock climbing, and unsure as to whether or not I could even do it. The staff were of course familiar with this level of amatuerity, and they put me on the right track in no time at all. Before I came I didn’t realise that my buddy, who just as inexperienced as me, would be the one in charge of me not dying if I lost my grip, but I suppose things are more exciting if there is some risk involved. The climbing itself was great fun, and judging by every muscle in my body hurting the day after, I would say that it is a full body workout. They offer a range of climbing walls, a continuum of difficulty from novice to expert.

If you need to wear out the kids for the afternoon, bring them here! They can climb and climb and climb. There is a whole room dedicated for kids and it also includes a huge playground. It’s a great place for a birthday party — not very expensive, and there’s a huge eating area. You can even get a combo birthday deal with Dominos pizza where they deliver the pizza for your party!

Excellent place for indoor climbing from beginners to the more experienced and includes options for lead climbing. Inside a massive warehouse the periphial is a selection of walls of varying angles and difficulty with graded climbs and a Grigri belay system. A bouldering «boulder» (with seating on top!) sits in the middle of the large room and what used to be a lot of empty space is now filled with a series of children’s auto-​belay ClimbZone towers. So be wary of school holidays and weekends — you might find your serious, quiet climbing afternoon inundated with excited kids literally bouncing off the walls. You can hire gear or bring your own, there’s gear available for sale and you can also sign up for courses. There’s also a handy noticeboard where climbers are looking for other people to go climbing with and that sort of thing.
