Reviews of Altitude Gym (Gym)

Rodrigo De Amorim

My forearms are dead. Good stuff.

Fantastic family activity. The kids love it! There are different level of difficulty. They teach safety tips before the activity starts and it feels really safe. They have birthday parties too but don't provide the food. Parents have to bring it. I recommend.

Tom Lismer

Awesome place, and provides exercise that is much more fun than lifting weights!

Party Puff

I love this gym! At the moment, I only do bouldering and have been to other gyms that do not have enough bouldering problems. Altitude has many fantastic routes of all different levels that are very clean and not clustered. Hands down the best gym in the area :)

Kendra Connolly

Great climbing gym with bouldering, lead, and top roping. There’s also a training area and parking on site.

Jon Kudjerski

One, if not my favourite gym. There is such a variety of climbs organized in a thoughtful way. The outdoor Boulder and high walls are awesome features.

Mehdi B.

Fantastic indoor climbing location with 2 different parts, adult & children. Great customer service and fair prices ????????????

Mike Perrault

Insaaaane climbing gym

QcMaggie

They always change up their wall patterns, its always fun to come back every week and have a new challenge !! :D

Myra Marie

Excellent for the whole family as activity. Staff are very helpful and friendly and also knowledgeable. ????

Dylan Meunier

Amazing lead climbing and top roping. Lots of different bouldering walls with plenty of overhanging routes. They also have outdoor boulder walls which is a very nice addition.

Nick Wang

Great place to climb with a strong friendly community and helpful staff

Ygor Gramiccia

Very nice climbing gym

Jessie W

Friendly staff, good variety of difficulties and large space. Got pretty busy later in the night so you may be sharing space but that's honestly fine. Best place in the downtown Ottawa-Gatineau area.

Mathieu Newbury

Best place for bouldering and climbing in town!

Pavlo Kalyta

The best place for bouldering in the Capital Region! It is perfect size, not too big and not too small. Lots of routes for all levels. Staff always friendly, the crowd is relaxed and chill. You feel welcome here regardless of your level, gender and age.

Alexandre Robertson

It will be a great place to workout once it's ready.

Mike Lee

Gym built in a renovated church, so the architecture is quite nice and it's neat to find remnants of the church around everywhere. The boulder problems are all very well set and and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Chris vanPopta

So much fun. A great way to instill confidence in your kids!

Jason M

While we didn’t climb here (the kids were next door at Clip n Climb), I definitely wanted to check out the adult side of gym. Lots of walls at different difficulties and bouldering walls and it was quiet and not busy!

Jessica Bertrand

Our kids (15 and 7) always have a blast!

MJC Piano

Well rounded gym. Lots of bouldering, top roping (including autobelays) and lead climbing. Very high in the annexe section. Good workout area and it's expanding!

Daniel Malouin

Amazing climbing gym! Great/friendly service and very interesting problems. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Will come back.

Noah Davidson

Nice people. Could use a bit more bouldering area but I'm gonna check out the Kanata altitude which I hear has more.

Jason Yang Gang

Open for covid. Very spacious and the pass is an excellent value for the money. A great way to stay fit during the covid season. Lots of routes for bouldering with various difficulties. Very spacious interior and interesting routes. Great for bring new friends to the sport or as a weekly hangout activity.

Daniel Brousser

Great place for bouldering and lead climbing. Has extensive out and indoor training and conditioning areas.

Patrick Elder

It's a lot of fun and you get such a rush of accomplishment when you hit the last rock. There is a weekly rotation of the climbs to keep things fresh. Some weeks are harder than others so don't get discouraged. Keep climbing and become better. It's a great way to get fit and have fun doing it.

Taylor Sergeant

Clean facility, wonderful people, lots of fun!

Sean “HIGH GATE KILLER” Decaire

Post Covid reboot. The new reservation system works great. I found enough time in one and a half hours to get a good pump. All of the surface areas were super clean and they mentioned that they do it in between each booking time slot makes me feel safe thanks a lot Altitude Gatineau team for the good work.

Essee Farhadian

love this place, the employees were super kind and very informative.

Ryan Gates

Really friendly staff, well organized and large selection of wonderful varying difficulties for bouldering

Cassie Braithwaite

Went here for my daughter's birthday (as well as other times) it's a great gym, staff are friendly and helpful.

Stormer Santana

Awesome gym with friendly staff and community. I popped in for a climb while visiting Ottawa. I was surprised to see the gym was actually a refurbished church! Super cool use of an existing building. Vaulted ceilings (still with dove impressions on the ceiling) allow for some good top roping. Plenty of great boulder problems as well.

Nicholas Lapierre

Even though a few covid restrictions have removed some items, well worth the visit. Just remember to trust the equipment.

Lucas Guinet

Many walls, great setting on the boulder problems. Friendly staff !

Marc Dubeau

Excellent climbing gym. My three kids had a blast. Staff was very curtious.

Mono Brown

Love the whole vibe of this place, from the genuinely sweet and thoughtful staff to the fun outdoor bouldering space. Who doesn’t need a breather while climbing indoors in a mask.

Annika Witt

Great gym! Routes are well set and the atmosphere is relaxed. Only wish they didn't charge for a belay test

Zenon Hrabowsky

Great staff, well run gym.

Connor Byway

Nice Gym, not as big as the Kanata location and doesn't have all the same features like the rope climb and the weights and cross fit type part in the back. Still great for just freestyle climbing and decent wall climbing.

Lydia Kokline

Available parking. I am scared of heights but the experience was wonderful. It was my first time and I really enjoyed it. Part of my bucket list.

Sebastien Larouche

ALWAYS A GOOD TIME...

Miriam Feltham-Lauzon

Sweet rock climbing gym in the Gatineau area! Big boulder in the middle and large basement bouldering section - both awesome! Nice variety of climbs. Cool community around it! Nice little gym area for weight training. In terms of big walls though... they charge you a couple bucks extra to climb the big walls, which I don’t love... and hadn’t warned us that a pretty big section was closed off for the evening. I was pretty surprised that they reset at night when it is so busy... That said, I still really enjoyed my experience and would go again! I’d just ask if everything is open first.

Misha

Tons of place to climb and well marked difficulty levels for each group of colours. Really recommend this place.

Kayla Coderre

I took my dad to Clip & Climb as his 60th birthday present. The two staff members working in that area that night were very friendly & very helpful. They helped all of us whenever we needed it & kept the atmosphere really light by chatting & joking around with everyone. The activities themselves were lots of fun! There are many different levels. Some are very challenging, if not "impossible" for some! It was a lot of fun to test ourselves in a very fun, encouraging atmosphere :)

Brad Goldthorpe

This place was great! I'm brand new to bouldering and climbing and so this was a first experience for me. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and they have quite an amazing setup in there. The prices are also reasonable for the experience. They have two floors/levels for climbing and bouldering, a small fitness setup downstairs along with a rope. There is a separate room for kids as well. Check it out!

Jasmine Cherry (Jas)

I used to love rock climbing when I was younger! But never really got back Into it due to how people normally act at rock climbing gyms! However; this place is amazing! No stigma for beginners and everyone is jsut there to have fun! It’s nice due to this fact everyone jsut wear what they are comfortable in and it’s great atmosphere! I’ve been going for a while now and even hit my own shoes! They have some things to do in the lower half that isn’t rock climbing! It’s a mini gym with some cool things you don’t see most places! I attached a photo of my friend attempting to do the rings! And jsut of me buying equipment! IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO HAVE FUN AND MEET COOL PPL THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! *Thursday and Fridays after 830 it’s half off and of you are just looking to see if you’ll enjoy or just wanna save money go then*

Dennis Noel

Always a great experience at Clip and Climb! Kids and adults, we all loved it!

Daryl Collins

Always an awesome time going there to climb. Staff are great, facilities are amazing. Do it!

Anthony Mcconnell

Sometimes the holds don't get changed often enough. Besides that it's a great place to climb.

dragosanie

It's a fun place to go, but the staff doesn't help you much and if it's your first time going they don't explain or show anything to you. The prices are quite high and half of the time when I go there most of the walls I want to climb are closed off. Kind of sucks I have to pay full price when I can't use more than half and they ask you not to stay too long.

Gnomze

I come here for the first time this week, and must say I’m super impressed with the way they are handling reopening in COVID times. You can only use your own harness and equipment (though they do rent shoes that are disinfected) and only liquid chalk is permitted that contains hand sanitizer. They limit the number of people in the gym at any time through a reservation system and even have a separate entrance and exit. The climbing routes are of various levels and heights, had a marvelous time!

Alayna Lynne

I love this gym I’ve been training here for a few years now and I love it ! I feel at home here and everyone is so kind and encouraging. It’s a very friendly and welcoming environment.

Hassan Alikhan

Great staff, well equipped, good natured enthusiasts and friendly atmosphere. Loved that it is a converted church.

Anita Uwambayinkindi IYAKAREMYE

Amazing coaches, we enjoyed, we had fun!

Allison Jewell

Wonderful gym, great staff and excellent facilities. When moving to a new city it was very important to me to find a new home gym. Altitude provided a welcoming environment and provides a variety of different climbing options (top ropes, leading, bouldering and auto-belays).

Simon McMillan

This is a nice climbing gym with tons of areas to climb. There is a clip and climb area which is great for birthday parties. There's lots of opportunities to lead and top rope. There's also an amazing bouldering cave. You won't get bored here if you stay for a whole afternoon! Parking can be a bit tricky but in the end I've always been able to find something free within a short walk.

Cauan Donizette

It's was nice! If you like climbing you will liked it

Damien H00d

Amazing place with lots of bouldering, top ropss, and lead climbing. Friendly staff and routes change pretty frequently. Great gym!

Kina Ink

Great variety of climbing available. Ideal for top roping and lead climbing. Needs an online booking system for kids clip and climb area: they never returned a call for a reservation made the day of. B recommend calling days in advance for clip and climb.

Michael Fuchigami

We've been here a few times - a couple of times for birthday parties and a couple of times on our own. Kiddo had lots of fun doing the clip and climb part of the gym. Lots of different options and each wall had three levels of difficulty to make things more challenging (I.e. only the red holds) Although they're closed during these challenging times, I'm looking forward to the time that we can go back!

Maxim Blair

Very amicable staff, great variety in terms of routes! I came down from Banff to visit family during the holidays, and for a climbing gym in a community where climbing isn't so much a popular sport, the routes are great and they have amazing crack climbing!! The facility is huge and has lots of different walls, both routes and boulder problems. The thing that stood out most for me was the fact that my relatively inexperienced family was able to come in and pay for a package that included all the rental gear and a course on how to belay, which made it all the more fun since we could belay each other. In all honesty, if it wasn't for the world class route setting at Elevation Place in Canmore AB and the lack of a slab wall, this gym could easily be my favorite, so kudos Altitude Gym!!

Mathieu Robinson

Lots of variety, good for beginners and experienced climbers, but other gyms in the area are harder.

Anna Mike-Ebeye

Absolutely love this place. One of the best gyms I’ve been to. I would visit Gatineau again just for this gym. They had tons of really awesome lead routes and challenging and fun bouldering. My favourite thing was definitely the crack! So much fun!

A D

The best in the region.

Liz

Love this gym!! Always so many new routes.

Tyler McR

Love this place, both locations. Excellent activity and fun exciting, exercise. Staff is always super friendly, knowledgable and supportive.

Yuen Man Ng

Fun for adult and kids ! Challenging climbing park !

Sabrina Rossignol

Love love love it! ???? It's a great place to bring kids and have a good time with the fam. There's different levels of difficulty so it's really for everyone! If you get a membership and start going more often you'll easily make yourself a climbing partner! Don't be worried to go alone either! Everyone is so friendly and we're all cheering for everyone and helping one another. ????

Alejandro Zamora

Incredible place where to go for climbing or just to do workout. All the staff is polite, friendly and helpful. Perfect place if you are begginer in the climbing world. Prices are affordable.

Gabriel N

Visited here for the first time after trying to visit Coyote. Staff were friendly, helped me right away and got me set to try out the course asap. Is a bit further away from Ottawa South, but worth the drive. The routes/and overall experience was by far, the best I've experienced in Ottawa.

Mohammed Haydari

An amazing rock climbing gym, even when it'd busy there's always space to climb. Great environment and the staff are always willing to assist. They deserve the 5 stars.

Alexey Boudtech

Super place to do something extreme.

Kristin Horton

Altitude Rock climbing gym generously donates passes to the rock climbing park to many of the charities I volunteer for. I also have been climbing at the park many times and they have one of the best parks I have ever been to. The staff are knowledgeable and everything is very hands on. There are many different levels of climbing available for beginners and more advanced.

Phil Ga

Great experience clip and climb. My kid loved climbing and it was his first time. The hour went by very quickly. It's relatively inexpensive as a family activity. Would definitely return. Staff is great.

Erick Mondragón

Great place to spend an afternoon, really safe and staff is really friendly!

Phillip Tompkins

Great fun for all kids!

Jessie Vallee

Absolute fun! Reasonable prices. Plenty of space. Helpful and friendly staff. Many different things to do. I want to get a membership!

Frederic Lupien

Great fun for experts and beginners

Victor F

Epic, clean, vast, and loads of fun. Altitude gym has something for everyone. From staggeringly tall lead climbing walls to puzzlingly difficult bouldering problems, and even an outdoor area with slack lines and a Platinum rig. Part of the basement even has a section of free weights and dedicated training equipment to suit your fancy. A great place to meet fellow climbing afficionados or tackle some hard walls solo.

Marc André

Best place in town

Philippe Legault

Favorite climbing gym in the Ottawa/Gatineau area, has great setting in lead and bouldering. The staff is always friendly and helpful answering any questions and providing great courses for top-rope and lead. With the new renovation the gym now has a tension board, moon board and kilter board which are a ton of fun. Some of the setting can be quite dynamic but there's still a nice variety of problems that can be found :)

Lee Reck

Gr8 spot. Gr8 employees. It can be a little expensive for shorter term memberships but you're paying for quality routes and problems

xavier belisle

Great staff. Problems change pretty much every week and easy to make a reservation

Ashiatsu Gatineau

Clip and Climb is great for all ages and all levels. My 4 year old son had no problems making it to the top on most of the walls. Great family activity, highly recommend! And as far are the actual gym, the place is HUGE! Thanks to Raphael for being a great instructor!

Benjamin Brown

Favourite gym in the city! Staff are friendly and problems are changed frequently enough to keep things interesting while giving you enough time to come back and work on it.

Wasel Akhunzada

Great venue. Huge facility. Staff were courteous and friendly. Everyone participating were also kind hearted and friendly. Will definitely be coming back.

Nolan B

Didn't go to altitude gym. But Clip and climb was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it. The staff was super friendly and the walls are super fun. A nice challenge for friends and family.

Jon Connelly

Great route Setting, events, and nice to have some lead walls in the city. I've had consistently bad experiences with unsupervised kids however (both with parents and coaches). Just last night I had to pull a toddler off a mat who was on her ipad in the landing zone. She narrowly missed being landed on from a climber dropping from 12+ feet. Only a matter of time before there is an accident here. If there was better supervision I would be happy to get a membership here, but I've had too many experiences at this gym where it feels like glorified daycare with staff members completely aloof.

Taylor Monette

I go to this gym 4 to 5 times a week to rock climb. This gym offers top rope, lead climbing as well as bouldering. Every two week or so a selected section of the gym is reset to offer new problems for the customers. I highly recommend Altitude Gym for their awesome bouldering problems as well as their amazing staff.
