Facility
WIP Climbing Nanaimo is a continuation of the vision first started by Liz and Colin. In the summer of 2025 the Bloc Bouldering facility was presented to WIP Climbing and we were excited about the opportunity to continue the vision and grow a climbing community in the Nanaimo area. With our team already established in Courtenay since 2019 we are able to lean on our experiences and bring energy, stability and structure to the Nanaimo location. Our inspiration for this facility is two fold; first it is repurposed to welcome new climbers to the sport and second to bring the existing climbing community together. WIP Nanaimo brings elements that work from WIP Courtenay, Bolder, and gneiss and fits them cleanly into this space while keeping form and function paramount.
WIP has a coffee bar, training area, fitness and weight training area. Come check us out.
