Had a intro session for climbing with Charlotte. She has long history with climbing and had a lot of information to share. Her friendly and encouraging presence made the lesson very comfortable. The climbing and gym facilities were nice and not crowded. Would definitely go again.

Terrific gym! They have all the equipment needed for a solid workout. Multiple rooms for weights. I low key wish this gym existed where I live!

My 7 y/o daughter has done a handful of guided climbs at the Core and has a blast every.single.time! Tom is a wonderful coach and is so great with the kids. I highly recommend this as an activity in Whistler.

Tom instructed my two kids (7 & 10yo) for one hour and he was fantastic. Made it really fun for them. Will be going back for sure!

My children did the two day outdoor camp with Rhys and Charlotte and absolutely loved it. Excellent instructors who provided a great mix of both education and fun. My daughter said the second day was one of her best days ever! Thank you

Decided to learn how to climb. I had the best time indoors & and outdoors. Charlotte is an amazing teacher, and I'm so excited to learn more. Tom was super professional, and I learned how to abseiling. I'm looking forward to the next climbing session!

Attended the women’s outdoor day and met some amazing people! It was my first time climbing outdoors but Charlotte really took the time to show me how to belay and how to communicate on the wall. I highly recommend going if you’re new, the staff are the best! Also thanks to Tom for setting up ropes for us!

Loved it! Super fun! I did rock climbing lessons and it was one of the best experiences I've had for a long time! Charlotte was a great instructor and made the time even better. If you ever have a chance to do the rock climbing lessons you definitely should. I will definitely be back.

A guided climb with Rhys was a highlight of our trip to Whistler. Rhys made climbing fun, challenging, and educational for our 5 year old wild child. Looking forward to climbing with Rhys again on our next trip to Whistler.

Rhys was fantastic - above and beyond attention and guidance for our kids. Highly recommend him!

Disappointed in my visit there, as it was very close to the hotel I was staying in while visiting Whistler for a few days and stopped in to work out, I was assessed to pay the day fee of $18 CAD with USD and was told, sorry we don't exchange, when I questioned the older gentleman behind the desk (the owner?), he said that I could use USD but that the $18 CAD fee would be charged and I would get back $2 USD as change from a USD $20 bill. I politely looked up the exchange rate and did it for him and showed him the amount, he again looked at me and said, "we don't exchange". I made mention that this would mean I was paying about $23 CAD for the day, and he remarked again that they don't exchange. No explanation, as to why. I left and did not return.

I would make sure you either come with CAD or find somewhere else to go. I found Altitude Fitness about 7 minutes away. Fantastic facility and they take USD without issue.

Kids' climbing lesson.
Booked in while on holiday and kids had a great time. Tom was a very good instructor, patient and easy going and worked them hard!

Tom took us out on the outdoor climbing trip and it was amazing! Super friendly to beginners and made sure we were understanding everything he was doing

We took the guided tour to outdoor rock climbing. Despite our own inexperience, our guides Reese and Tom were extremely helpful and encouraging.

The hike to the climbing site was short but strenuous. Definitely not for the physically challenged.

Our group consists of three adults in 40s and three kids ages 10-14, at varying level of fitness and climbing experiences. Even the easiest climb (5.5) was not a cakewalk, but everyone in the group managed it. We all felt challenged but not to the point of failure, and we had Reese and Tom to thank for that.

We can't wait to improve our climbing at our local gyms back home and come back for another climb in a few years!
