The Guelph Grotto is situated on the territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Attiwonderonk (Neutral), Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Mississauga. Guelph’s colonial borders also hold history of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784, Treaty 3 of 1792, and Anishinaabe language. The Guelph Grotto profits and operates on land that we acknowledge and respect as Indigenous to what is currently Canada.

ANYONE CAN CLIMB
ANYONE CAN CLIMB
SO EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Whether you've never climbed before or you're training to be the next Alex Honnold, whether you are young in body or young in spirit, you belong here. The Grotto is a community dedicated to welcoming current & future climbers of every age, regardless of experience or physical ability.
We want the Grotto to offer you a comfortable home for all things climbing - everything from your hopes, goals, and aspirations, to your worries, anxieties, and insecurities. We are a family-run, community-oriented gym, and we strive to create an accessible and inclusive space where everyone can get on the wall.
A lot has changed since our gym was first opened by Dave Perozzo back in 1994, but our commitment to climbers of all abilities remains constant. We offer a variety of programs and classes for climbers of all ages to explore climbing, develop their strength and technique, and set and achieve personal goals.
