True North Climbing

True North is the Downsview hangar gym: 75 Carl Hall Road, Unit 14, bouldering, 14 Perfect Descent auto-belays, top rope, lead, a climbing-specific training area, and a weights room. Official site truenorthclimbing.com posts regular hours daily 10 a.m.-10 p.m., with members-only hours Monday-Friday 8-10 a.m. and Saturday-Sunday 9-10 a.m. (no member hours on holidays). Phone (416) 398-7625, info@truenorthclimbing.com. Drop-in is allowed when the gym is not full; booking is the way to guarantee a spot. First-timers: sign the waiver online, then an auto-belay orientation or the Intro Lesson before you touch a rope. Fitness areas are 16-plus. Kids have posted supervision ratios. Day passes, memberships, courses, and a retail shop. This is the north-end full-service gym, not a downtown boulder closet.
