Wilson Climbing Centre

Expérience positive: This climbing gym is perfect for beginners in the bloudering part! It's small and cozy, and the routes are easy to follow. The price is affordable, and the climbing walls are just the right size.

Expérience fantastique: The routes are always lots of fun to climb and the atmosphere is great!

Expérience fantastique: I visited it as part of a School field trip. The instructors were amazing teaching all the kids the best practices for them to have fun.

Expérience négative: Bouldering area is downright dangerous, there is an inherent risk to climbing anywhere, but the tall walls and spring board floor instead of a mat, mean falling, even properly from any height can lead to serious injury. Which they see incredibly often. Not safe, go boulder somewhere else.

Expérience fantastique: Nice clean facility, great place to learn how to climb

Expérience positive: They have a small bouldering area with some interesting problems! Grades start at VB-V1 and progresses to V8+. Overall I had a fun bouldering experience, but it can slowly become dull due to the limited routes in the small space.

Expérience fantastique: Great staff and nice place to climb. I forgot a hair tie and the front desk guy offered to help and we found a rubber band I could use. So kind that he went out of his way to find something for me!

Expérience positive: Lots of routes and they seem to change it up fairly often. Stagg are very nice as well.

Expérience positive: Friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Fun and interesting sport routes and bouldering projects for all types of climbers. Great place to learn. Spring floors in bouldering area are very hard which leads to dangerous conditions when falling or jumping from any point on the wall.

Expérience fantastique: The Wilson Climbing Centre made me fall in love with not only the sport of climbing, but also the community of climbing. This is an excellent place for both beginners to learn the ropes, and crushers to put their skills to the test. The bouldering lounge, while small, is filled with super fun, challenging problems. From crimpy outdoor simulations to indoor comp style problems, the head setter does a great job at providing variety. The high wall offers a great sport climbing experience with plenty of height and and routes. Though, the resets upstairs are much more infrequent than in the bouldering lounge, so regulars of the high wall might grow tired of the set. Highly recommend to anyone involved in climbing, regardless of whether you're affiliated with the UofA!

Expérience négative: Top rope routes hardly ever change. The holds are super dirty and greasy. The bouldering section sometimes doesn't have labelling for starts and tops.

Expérience positive: The bouldering is 3 stars because the routes are good but the the wall is really short, change room is cramped & routes are too one dimensional (all crimpy) but the upstairs top rope fantastic looking and I can't wait to get my certification. (They have belay courses as well)

Expérience positive: Idk, it's alright. Horrible change rooms, inconvenient hours, tiny boulder area and no standard training equipment but also easily the best lead and toprope walls in Edmonton as well as friendly and helpful staff.

Expérience négative: They only let you cancel your membership if you show up in person. What year is it?

Expérience positive: Great place to top-rope and lead climb, but boulder area is pretty small. Only major downside is finding and paying for parking.

Expérience positive: Best rope climbing in Edmonton for sure. Bouldering area is small and generally congested. Most of the wall is dedicated for lead climbing so you may feel like you're missing out if you're going just to top rope.

Expérience positive: Went there for some bouldering, and it was somewhat disappointing. The routes were quite short, and a bit difficult to determine. They also had a weird difficulty curve with the midlevel ones being too easy and one level up being ridiculously difficult. My dad has done the top roping, which has much better routes and is probably one of the tallest walls in town. I haven't personally tried it so I can only comment on the bouldering.

Expérience fantastique: The best climbing center for UofA students

Expérience fantastique: Well maintained and great facility. Helpful staff members.

Expérience positive: Who knew this volleyball-faced dude would drift out to sea all the way to Edmonton and build his very own climbing wall. Pretty inspiring story. Wilson doesn't seem all that interested in bouldering, but he definitely likes to lead climb. No volumes anywhere, and no slab routes, but get ready for a side-pull party on most lead routes. Staff is nice and involved. Change room is even tinier than the bouldering section. Cheaper than most other climbing places in the city, but much better maintained than most (yes I'm pointing the finger at you, RJF). Wilson came a long way since leaving Tom out at sea.

Expérience positive: Nice lead climbing and top-rope walls! Boulder area is very small. Stuff is very friendly :)

Expérience fantastique: Family friendly fun!

Expérience négative: The design of this place is awful. The bouldering is really sad and the manager Lloyd is really rude. The lead walls are awesome though.

Expérience fantastique: Plenty of walls for bouldering, no traverse option like vertically inclined in the south end. 6 levels of difficulty, so you're bound to find something at or above your comfort zone. I was very busy from 2-4pm, but climbers were very polite and let others go before attempting again.

Expérience fantastique: Very nice climbing center, new, modern, clean, professional

Expérience positive: I had a lot of fun here

Expérience fantastique: 作为学生来说是很合算的 毕竟所需费用已经在学费里了 所以如果你是ua学生那么是很推荐你来这里攀岩的 分上下两楼 楼下主要是高度低的抱石 难度从简单到很难都有 楼上高度很高的攀岩墙是要经过考核才可以去的 如果要经常去的话建议买个攀岩鞋 要不每次6刀的租借费交多了就亏了 攀岩鞋不好买就直接去西贸sportcheck有卖的

Expérience positive: Fun gym. Great staff

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and friendly/helpful staff. Always fun and fun people around.

Expérience fantastique: With the highest walls for top-rope and lead climbing in town, this is my fave climbing wall in Edmonton.

Expérience fantastique: Legit climbing gym compared to the one at my University. The bouldering area is wayyyy too small, though.

Expérience fantastique: Great challenging bouldering problems and the high wall climbing is on another level so you never have to belay in the way of the bouldering climbers.

Expérience positive: The centre is great, especially for U of A students who get in for free, but it can be quite busy if you get there at the wrong time and this can mean long waits between climbs. The bouldering routes change on a ~monthly basis which is nice.

Expérience fantastique: Very good services with all the equipment needed.

Expérience positive: Very good climbing Would like to give it 5 stars but they have no clocks

Expérience fantastique: The people really make this place great.

Expérience fantastique: Nice facility and helpful staff!
