We acknowledge that The Hive, where we work and climb, operates on the traditional and ancestral unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We recognize and respect them as nations in this territory, as well as their historic connection to the lands and waters around us.
Climbers and Indigenous peoples share a sacred connection to the land. The Hive is committed to engaging in meaningful partnership with indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and the creation of an inclusive climbing community.

The Hive Heights FAQ
The Hive Heights will honour all pre-paid Cliffhanger memberships. These will not function as “ultimate” Hive memberships, however, unless the climber chooses to upgrade. More details on membership options will be made available by September 8th, 2021.
Punch passes purchased before September 1, 2021 will be honoured following the transition.
Cliffhanger Gift Cards will be honoured until closing time on Dec 31, 2022.
We plan to retain a ‘Ropes Only’ membership option for some time, aiming to provide comparable pricing for those who do not intend to boulder or use the other amenities at other Hive facilities. During the same time, Ultimate Memberships at existing Hive facilities will not automatically include The Heights. This is a tough decision, but we are making it to avoid an immediate influx of climbers to an already busy facility. Eventually we will have an option that includes all Hive facilities, but we are still working out the exact details on how best to provide this option.
We will keep prices as they are until January 1st of 2022 when The Hive does its annual price adjustment. We do these adjustments to keep up with inflation and the rising costs of doing business (eg: rent, property tax, minimum wage, etc.)
These offerings will continue this Fall as usual. As before, Anne-Marie will be in charge of reaching out to returning participants first, and then the waitlist, to complete registrations. The term is set to begin on September 14th and end December 3rd. Future rounds of these programs may see some minor changes, but for now, since they are so well received, we’re going to keep things consistent.
We are thrilled to have a roped gym in the family, and a roped gym it will remain! We do plan on gradually infusing it with some new holds, a few fresh staff faces, Hive-style events and other goodies.
We are grandfathering lead and belay test statuses; your Cliffhanger lead tag will be sufficient proof until further notice.
Grading (indoors or outdoors) is subjective. Routes are graded based on one or a few peoples (experienced) opinions, but can even vary depending their preferred style and strength at the time of rating the climb. We broadened the parameters of the grades (e.g. 5.10+ or 5.10-) because it can feel quite different for each climber! If you feel a route is graded *way* off from it’s actual difficulty as it relates to various other climbs of a similar grade in the gym, we welcome your constructive feedback at the front desk, as our team are always learning and growing, and excited to improve your experience.
