Great place for just bouldering. They do not have top ropes or high walls you need to visit the one in Monte Clair. This place is very spacious and they also provide fans when it gets hot. The other location does not. The reason why i gave 4 stars is because the location between here and the other location is pretty close and if you live more west these 2 are the closest.

I also noticed that this one was very well-ventilated and didn't feel stuffy at all inside! The staff here is so friendly and I really enjoyed my experience here. It is good to note that this Hangar 18 is for Bouldering ONLY (i.e. no use of harnesses as you are only 10-12ft. off of the ground). The floor is all crash pads for when you fall. I personally enjoy bouldering a lot so I love that there are so many options. There are plenty of beginner friendly routes here too, so...
