FAQs

Yes! 5% off any future Muskoka Mountainworks courses booked through Climb Onsight.

None – please visit a nearby gas station before arriving 🙂 However, I will have a washroom kit that includes toilet paper, a metal trowel, and hand sanitizer. Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Gibson’s of Muskoka is the cheapest option in the area, but is a bit further north and out of the way.

There isn’t a nearby parking lot, so please park on the gravel shoulders located before and after the guardrail. Please make sure that your car is not on the road. The spots are marked with a white X on the photo.

The guide has the sole discretion to cancel the course because of the weather. If the guide cancels the course before it begins, you and the guide will work  together to arrange an alternate date for the guided trip, a credit for the guide’s services, or an appropriate refund. We won’t offer refunds if the course is canceled once it begins, unless you and the guide agree otherwise.

I booked two 8-hour courses coordinated by Climb Onsight. An outdoor sport climbing course, taught by Frederick from ONE AXE, and a top rope anchor course taught by Jonathan from Muskoka Mountainworks. Both guides were great! They explained core concepts well, were receptive to questions. The days consisted of both theory and practice. I had a great experience with Climb Onsight. Communication was prompt, scheduling was flexible, and the booking and payment process was simple. I now feel more confident climbing outside, and I wouldn’t hesitate booking another experience through Climb Onsight. I would recommend the service to anyone looking to break into outdoor climbing!

Shaun of Climb Onsight organized a successful corporate event for our firm retreat in Phoenix, Arizona. We had a great time rock climbing at Echo Canyon Trailhead. Some of us were first-timers and Shaun was truly an excellent source from beginning to end. Highly recommend Climb Onsight if you are looking to book a rock climbing event!

Had a fantastic time on an ice climbing trip booked through Climb Onsight! The process was seamless and we saved so much time on researching guides. The Muskoka Mountainworks guides are the best. They were patient with us newbies and made sure everyone had a nice balance of challenge and fun. The incredible location also made for an unforgettable day.

Shaun and Jonathan were great guides for ice climbing, it was our first time but they were sure to give us good guidance but also room to do things on our own. Highly recommend if anyone wants to try ice climbing!
