Experienced Climbers
Joe Rockhead’s was founded by high-performing climbers, and the needs of hard-working climbers are central to how we operate. Along with being a Toronto stop for pro climbers like Sean McColl, Miho Nonaka, Alex Honnold, Sasha DiGiulian, and Alex Megos, we also offer courses and clinics to elevate your own level.
