Every participant (belayer/climber) who uses the facilities at Coyote Rock Gym must fill out a waiver form. In order to save time at the registration desk, please have the waivers submitted before coming for your first visit.

Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent/legal guardian sign the form before they can participate.

Please click the button below to fill out the waiver online. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this in advance of your visit!

Preparing for your visit

Most climbers usually stay for about a 2 hour session. On your first visit you may not last quite so long as your muscles and tendons (and skin!) are not used to the strains of climbing.

There is ample free parking on site (please respect the signs put up by our neighbours), and our facilities include change rooms with showers, lockers (bring your own locks), and a drinking fountain.

FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Should I rent shoes?

Climbing shoes are available for rent and are recommended as the stiffness of the shoes helps balance on smaller holds – wear a pair of thin sports socks and expect climbing shoes to fit snugly. A pair of flip flops is recommended if you want to take a break from your climbing shoes and not walk around the gym barefoot.

What is the difference between top roping and bouldering?

Coyote offers both top roping and bouldering. For top roping you will be attached to a rope with a top anchor point and climb to the top of our walls. The climbs we offer range from 5.4 to 5.13. For bouldering, you will climb slightly more intricate problems that are between 12-14 feet tall and fall back onto mats. 

What should I wear?

Most people wear normal workout gear such as shorts or track pants and a T-shirt or sweatshirt. Wear something stretchy that you are comfortable moving around in!

Do I need to reserve a spot to climb?

You only need to reserve a spot if you are bringing people for a birthday party, other event, or if your group exceeds 5 people.

Where are you located?

We are located at the back of 1737 St. Laurent Boulevard, across from Gladwin Cres. 

How high are your walls?

Our toprope walls are 24 feet tall. Our bouldering walls are between 12-14 feet tall.

Is there an age restriction on climbing at your gym?

Generally, we recommend bringing kids age 4 and above. Young kids and toddlers are also welcome but please ensure you supervise them at all times. If your kid is under the age of 14, you must provide supervision of them at all times. Kids that are under the age of 14 are not allowed to go upstairs or into our upstairs gym unless they have a membership or are part of our programs. Kids under the age of 16 are not allowed to go into the gym in the South Side, unless they are a member or are part of our programs.

Can I bring in outdoor food?

Yes! You can bring your own snacks and drinks, we just ask that you don’t eat on the bouldering mats. We also sell an assortment of drinks and small snacks at the front desk.
