Fantastic experience: Took a class of grade 4s and 5s here with my school and the staff were great! Super helpful and informative, and the kids had a blast. Highly recommended!

rhea schutt 1 year ago

Negative experience: When I purchased my punch card, I specifically asked if my card would expire (as I was planning on traveling). I was told no, and now, coming back, I find out that my card had expired. It is very frustrating when the customer is not taken seriously.

Megan Rennie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Beyond the Crux for several years, with various groups my daughter participates in, and the staff have always been fantastic - knowledgeable, fun, and they always cheer the kids on. The gym is always well kept and clean. When I was there about 2 weeks ago, there was a disgruntled client, who had purchased a punch pass about two years ago, and was angry that it was expired. Him, his wife, and his son all came inside and gave the gentleman working - Russell - a very hard time. They were persistent and rude, and nothing Russell or the owner (who Russell called) offered was to their satisfaction (even though, in my opinion, all options given were more than fair). The clients were saying things like “we will get 50 friends to give 0 star reviews so your business fails” and things like that. Huge kudos to Russell, who was on his own, for remaining polite and patient throughout the entire interaction (about half an hour), for coming up with reasonable solutions, and remaining calm. Working in customer service for years, I was impressed by his professionalism. Great job Russell!

Fantastic experience: Ok, we went for the first time last Monday and we had a BLAST! The gentleman at the counter went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and even showed us proper technique for falling. My husband is over 100lb heavier than me so it was nice to learn proper technique. Thank you for the awesome day! Candace and Nathan Meagher!

Gabriella Cattaneo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome climbing gym. Lots of different styles of bouldering, and lots of variety even for beginners. The gym features a top-out section, cave climbing, and lots of cool slab problems. Creative route setting and good prices. Some of the mats upstairs could use replacements, but overall great climbing gym!

Micah Lockhart 2 years ago

Negative experience: If you’re any type of serious climber don’t waste your money going here. They never change the top rope climbs. ( same climbs for a year) At least the bouldering is pretty decent. ( a little sand bagged) This gym has so much potential to be a dope climbing gym, just a little frustrating paying for drop-in to climb the same problems.

justin ridley 2 years ago

Danielle B. 4 years ago

Positive experience: There's a mini gym attached so you can take a little break from climbing. Very fun set up that allows climbers to go through a tunnel and other obstacles. They could change up the routes a little more often.

Noel Savignano 4 years ago

Positive experience: Good place to do your workout. Not very large but enough for beginners. Some spots are not very safety in my point of view. Mats are to short and doesn't cover 100%. But with practice you ll go around easily.

Chris Couture 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lots of different climbing walls and a bouldering section. The staff were really knowledgeable, which was great because I came completely unprepared.

Sobia Noreen 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Did a two hour intro and belay course with Brett. He was great at showing me the gym and making me feel at home. Very welcoming to a newbie. Excited to come back

Boarder Gal 4 years ago

Positive experience: I love this place and used to go be here all the time. But wow have the prices for the day pass gone up?!? $18 for half an hour of climbing was a little much! I will stick with outdoor for that kind of pricing! Wish you had an hourly rate or something.

Leo Bartels 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very fun climbing. I moved in a few blocks away from them and upon my first visit I found the ruote markings confusing so I didn't go back for almost a year. Then I went and had it explained and now I'm in love. So many cool and unique features and routes. Fair prices. A good mix of bouldering and rope climbing. Classes from knowledgeable and friendly staff. I'm an amateur climber, I've climbed on and off for a few decades but never consistently enough to be good, so I stick to the easy stuff. However there are some amazingly complex routs here as well. It's a very well balanced gym and not a lot of ego thrown around so it's easy to be comfortable. I highly recommend them. I'll be going regularly now that I've gotten used to their route markings.

Abigail Langford 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's a great place with friendly, attentive staff. I've been climbing here for about 5 weeks, and I've been taking the youth climbing class. At the beginning I was climbing 5.6 and V0's, and I'm not consistently a 5.10a-d and V2-3. It's a great place to go to climb for an afternoon or make it your regular gym.

Steven Morehouse 6 years ago

Positive experience: Kids have tons of fun and it really is an impressive place. One star off because it somehow smells like a cat litter box.

Liam Clarke 6 years ago

Positive experience: Went to check out this gym after trying the other place, which was nice. LOVED the fact that had more space, friendly staff, and even top rope climbing. The fact I could boulder along all the routes, tunnel, and ledges was great! Choice made!

James Scarth 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beyond the crux has the best membership prices of all the Okanagan gyms and has the coolest caves ever. Upper level is typically shorter technical problems while lower wall will have you reaching. Great route setting tons of variety of problems. It's awesome to top out after grinding your way out of the cave. Not super busy which means you don't have to be a pro just to get on the wall. Not intimidating for beginners which is great. If you're gonna commit to a gym this is the one

Dana-Marie Kantor 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'm a novice climber. The staff is always friendly and chatty, the facility in general isn't the newest but it's well maintained and never feels dirty despite the mass amounts of chalk everywhere. A few of the mats are ripped but all in all a nice place to blow off some steam, the shoe rentals are also only $1.25!!!

Calen Martens 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always a great place to come meet and share laughter over some good climbs. Planned events for birthdays is recommended! This is the place that got me into climbing and ill always be gping back to climb there.

Positive experience: This is my regular gym, but it isn't exactly exciting.

Christopher Scholl 8 years ago

Negative experience: Had to switch gyms - this gym has everything that is needed in a climbing gym, but the staff are really cold and unfriendly. I also find that the crowds are super small and so climbing gets boring quickly. The other gym is much more exciting and inviting. Just my opinion.
