Blocs - Edmonton, Alberta

First time trying out their game. Really close to where I live. A lot bigger and more problems than the other gyms I’ve been to. Their grading system is different, which I like, the problem could range from 3-4 or 4-5. Bright and cold. Will definitely come back

Blocs is the homiest bouldering gym. It's the best!! There's just something about it that makes it so comfortable and friendly. Their prices are also good compared to other gyms. Their changerooms are always clean.

Their setting is always fun with dynamic!! As a beginner I can always find something to climb.

Parking can be tricky if it's busy (usually Thursday and Sunday evenings). But you can just park in the back 👍

I love this bouldering gym! The staff are amazing, the route setting is great, and I love that there are new routes set up every Sunday and Wednesday.

I highly recommend the (fun)damentals course. It's free and a great way to get some good tips and tricks from some more experienced climbers. After being shown some techniques, I was able to climb some V4s and I'm much better than I was before the course. If you are climbing V0 to V3, I'd recommend taking the course for some little tips and tricks!

Can't wait to take some of the other courses here!

Massive place to boulder! My favorite place in Edmonton so far because of its family friendly vibe and fun routes. There is even a convenient place to wash your feet after bouldering! 👏🏽😅

Blocs is one of the best bouldering gyms I’ve been too!!! My friend who lives in Edmonton was super excited to bring me to her gym and it did not disappoint! The setting was amazing, there are so many routes and the gym is huge!!! Can’t wait to visit again!

Love everything about this gym from the friendliness of the community + staff to... how clean and spacious it is. It has a large training area with a wide variety of hangboards, campus boards, weights etc. The grading here is fair and the sets are fun. There are many unique holds here. The changerooms are spacious with a foot wash area and lockers (bring a lock). There is an early bird special where it is $12 before 1pm otherwise it is $18.

Welcome to the biggest bouldering facility in Alberta! I attended the grand opening and had a blast trying out all of the problems and looking around the newest addition to Edmonton's climbing gyms.

The staff were friendly and maintained their composure, even when technical difficulties arose with their brand new check-in software as 100 people arrived and lined up outside. The shop area was well-stocked with branded merchandise, chalk and brushes, as well as a fridge full of healthy beverages. The route-setting seemed really well done (there was even a beginner-friendly, competition-style block route!) and the grip was really rough so I didn't need a lot of chalk (but that might also be because the holds were so new). There's a giant workout area that looks similar to the gyms I've seen pro climbers use on YouTube. Last but not least, the membership prices are some of the lowest I've seen in the city so far - especially for what's available at this gym.

All in all, I would highly recommend checking out Blocs as soon as you get the chance!

My wife and I had a great time. I can't often say this about climbing gyms, but nearly everyone was really friendly. Lots of climbing gyms have friendly people, but this gym had only friendly people on the day I visited. The energy and atmosphere were top notch, and we enjoyed the setting and great crash mats. Even if you're a beginner you can spend a long time here and still have fun.
