I recently had my second visit to Base Camp, and unfortunately, I experienced an accident during my climb. While attempting a challenging rock, my hand slipped, causing me to fall awkwardly on my ankle. The impact resulted in three ruptured tendons and considerable pain. However, what truly compelled me to write this review is the extraordinary care and support I received from the Base Camp staff.Despite the unfortunate incident, the staff at Base Camp went above and beyond to ensure my well-being while waiting for the ambulance. They promptly provided ample amounts of ice to reduce any swelling, offered refreshing drinks to keep me comfortable, and even arranged a comfortable place to sit as I dealt with the pain.What impressed me most was how the staff worked together seamlessly to ensure my comfort and reassurance during the waiting period. Their professionalism and attentiveness were truly commendable, making a difficult situation much more manageable.To my surprise and gratitude, at the end of it all, the Base Camp team offered a full reimbursement for both myself and my husband for that climbing session. This gesture not only showed their genuine concern for our experience but also demonstrated their commitment to exceptional customer care.While my accident was unfortunate, the care and support I received from the Base Camp staff were exceptional. I highly recommend this facility not only for their fantastic climbing experience but also for their outstanding customer service and dedication to the well-being of their patrons.Thank you, Base Camp, for turning a challenging situation into a testament of your commitment to customer satisfaction and care.

Rock climbing was strenuous athletics to be participating in before you tried it. And after you try it, it's a challenging sport, even if you got some advice or training. But I still highly recommend trying it; so much fun. Precisely if you watched ‘vertical limited’ or ‘127 hours’.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good gym but does get very busy! If you want to climb you may have to wait in line and be ready to step onto the mat when a climber finishes a route to get your spot!

In my experience, an okay gym. Would not returnCons:-$132 for 1 month membership (expensive, but it’s downtown so I guess I get it)-very hot, it was at least 26-30°C inside everytime I climbed. Paying this much you’d think the AC would work/be stronger-packed with people and reeked of body odour no matter the time of day-training area very small for how many people are in there. The real estate of this gym could be much better laid out and filled for a training area IMO-problems are mostly beginner

This is a great place if you love bouldering as the Queen West location is all bouldering. Despite its small size, its a good location in the city surrounded by lots of food options or things to do. This place can get busy after work or on weekends, however, everyone I have met here is very friendly and usually leads to several of us trying to solve certain climbs together.

Good place to Boulder. Nice people and environment. Small space. But dense number of routes on the limited space they have. Has decent route setting with interesting and diverse problems in each difficulty range. Convenient location in downtown. Way too expensive and crowded unfortunately because of that though.

I've only gone to the bouldering part of this gym, but I absolutely love that they keep it separated. As a first timer to the location, they had someone go over all of the rules with me, as well as that same person also guided me from the front desk to the actual gym. The changing area is literally just stalls (similar to the changing rooms in retail stores) in a communal area. They have staff on-site that both ensure the safest climbing methods are in place as well as to offer guidance when noticing folks having difficulties. I was personally having a hard time passing a mid point and one of the team members specifically asked if I was up for some tips, rather than just launching into what I was doing wrong, which I greatly appreciated!!

Despite being pretty small compared to the other gyms I frequent for bouldering, I found the routes set at the Basecamp Queen St location to be the most balanced and accessible. There are enough routes here to keep you entertained for a couple of hours no matter the skill level. It's definitely the most fun I've had in bouldering in recent memory in this city.A couple of cons about this place include the poor ventilation - it can get pretty humid and stuffy - and the sometimes very crowded environment. It's the most central indoor rock climbing gym in DT and close to UofT's main campus, so expect to see a lot of people in general for weeknights.The photos attached are considered light-intermediate in terms of crowd level. It is often intermediate-heavy from 6pm and beyond for weeknights, and light-intermediate on weekends.Other things:- Staff have always been great. I've never had a negative experience with any of them.- You can rent shoes, buy passes, and buy snacks/drinks at the entrance.- The facilities are just fine. I always found myself an empty locker to put my stuff in so I didn't have to leave it against a wall somewhere unattended.- There is a small gym area with a squat rack, bench, free weights, and many more climbing apparatus like a moon board.- The bathroom is all-gender if you absolutely have to know. Never had issues here.- This location offers climbing courses (over several sessions) and has special climbing events or days scheduled regularly.

Very pricey day pass for a very small bouldering gym. Setting was particularly unfriendly to much shorter than average climbers - lots of static wingspan moves. The training room seemed well equipped.
