Rope Climbing
The first time you visit The Rock Oasis you must fill
in our climbing registration and liability waiver. If
you do not know how to tie in and belay, please see
the New Climber
page. For experienced climbers who know how to tie in
and belay, you will be asked to pass a top rope belay
certification. We will confirm that you know how to
tie into the rope and that you are a safe belayer. This
process is for everyone's safety and therefore there
is no charge for this service.
Lead Climbing
If you want to lead climb at The Rock Oasis then you
must take our lead climbing
course or be an experienced lead climber.
Experienced lead climbers must make an appointment to
take a lead test. A $25 fee will apply as follows: either
1) refunded if climber is a safe lead climber and lead
belayer or 2) 1/2 hour refresher if climber demonstrates
95% of required skills or 3) partial payment towards
lead climbing course. Lead privileges will be revoked
if any unsafe behaviour is observed. You must provide your
own lead rope and grigri for lead climbing.
Bouldering
We offer two bouldering caves that feature varying degrees
of overhang and all sizes of climbing holds. You may
practice vertical technique as well as steep roof climbing
skills in it. Whether you need to work on technique,
power, or endurance the cave will complement your training
program. We also have a bouldering circuit around the
base of the climbing walls.
