Smelly are the changerooms, crowded are the walls, and costly are the climbing fees. None of this stops me from making Rock Oasis my gym of choice. It's insanely convenient: right downtown, open 365 days a year, until 11pm on weeknights. Also your fellow climbers are beautiful artworks of muscle and the folks behind the desk are kind, mellow and patient with beginners. Don't let the sardine-like atmosphere on weekends or the inferno-like heat in the summer months put your off.
