The Hive offers diverse experiences that cater to any kind of climber. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, you’ll find enjoyment in their spacious rock climbing gym during your visit.
What we were most ecstatic about our time at The Hive was its community-centered ambiance. Unlike most gyms where you simply complete your workout and leave, The Hive encourages socializing and hanging out.
It was great to see people climbing on a challenging wall with a group of strangers cheering for them in the background.
By the way, they have multiple locations across Vancouver, so we suggest checking out their website to see which one’s closest to where you are.
Another thing to note is that they require you to book a session for their Vancouver location before you go, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly.
