👍👍 I'll keep this brief. This establishment is warm, clean and very friendly. What makes this place different from other places is it isn't cold. Cold in colour and temperature. Too many climbing gyms have gross gravel floors or cement or wood. And other places usually have just plain painted plywood... People often mention staff, time, climbing,

    I'll keep this brief. This establishment is warm, clean and very friendly. What makes this place different from other places is it isn't cold. Cold in colour and temperature. Too many climbing gyms have gross gravel floors or cement or wood. And other places usually have just plain painted plywood walls. On the Rocks has soft matted floor to protect from falls and synthetic rock walls. They have a nice lounge, a bouldering cave, the main area has auto-belays if you don't have a partner (though the staff is always there to belay you if you want), a coffee bar, snacks, and even a small area for a gym/party area. The proprietor is very knowledgeable and will immediately become your friend. He often holds events for the community and is a pillar of Campbell River.

    This was my 12 year old grandson's first visit. The staff was unbelievable, so understanding and supportive. My grandson mentioned how good they were and thanked them very much. The equipment was top notch. My grandson left on an emotional high.

    I just moved to Van Isle from Ontario, so to see a local climbing gym as awesome as this one was such a pleasant surprise. Being a beginner climber myself, it was great to have such helpful staff. They didn't hesitate to help whatsoever whenever I had questions. My only gripe is I'm used to having the routes all be one colour holds so it took a bit to get used to having routes set in multiple colour holds. It's clearly marked with tape though. With further thinking though I don't mind it at all because I'm wanting to get into outdoor climbing, so having a less clear path is somewhat helpful forcing you to scout the route beforehand and really think about things. Overall awesome place and super friendly community, nobody should be intimidated if they wish to get into climbing. This is the place to do it, they'll make you feel welcome and help out whenever you need.

    Great place to go bouldering. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, and interesting climbs. Have been twice in the last two months and enjoyed it each time. If you're looking for something to do, especially as the weather is not nice, it is an ideal place to visit.

    Today was my 8 & 6 years old daughters first time here. Ian was amazing, professional kind and so patient and encouraging to both my kids. As a parent I can’t even say enough good things about On the Rocks climbing gym. Highly recommend!

    They're awesome here and very attentive. Spent a lot of one on one time with my 11yr old nephew and were very patient with him. I will definitely visit again next summer when I return to the island.

    Went with my 8 yr old son. We both had a great time. The staff was very helpful as it was our first time. They took the time to make sure we were comfortable with the 'falling' and didn't rush us and offered to help all along the time we were there. The staff was also very patient explaining the different place plans.

    Awesome gym for experienced and new climbers. The owner and staff are really friendly, helpful, and encouraging. The facility is well-equipped with lots of routes for both wall climbing and bouldering to try. Really enjoy going here!!
