BELAY POLICY
Belay test required
To climb ropes you take a short belay check at the desk — budget 10–15 minutes on your first visit. Auto-belays (where available) skip it.

THE HONEST NOTES
Cheapest ropes in the network. Belay test required, but it's the gentlest one in the city — if you can tie a figure-eight you'll pass. Gets loud when U of T classes let out around 4pm.
