Highly recommend one axe for all things adventures! Had the opportunity to try out ice climbing this past weekend and it was such a blast! It was all of our first times ice climbing and we felt super safe and challenged at the same time. The team at One Axe (Fred, Christa and Patrick) is supportive, friendly, instructive and a lot of fun! They provided all the equipment, a short belay lesson, and lots of advice and encouragement along the way. We were there from 10-4 and it felt like time was flying by! Would love to go out there again and do more :)

Came with a group of 12 and it was so fun, safe, and approachable. We varied from beginner (no climb experience) to rock-climb experienced — they were so good at catching which skills in general we could work on to make it easier ?

Just tried their ice climbing experience last week and I'd highly recommend it! As someone whose done indoor climbing less than 10 times (auto belay) and outdoor climbing once, I wanted to venture into a beginner ice climbing adventure. What I liked most about One Axe Pursuits was their communication, and attention to safety without minimizing the fun factor. For instance, they were able to answer a lot of my questions prior to the booking and even gave helpful tips on what gear to buy and what wasn't needed. And when the weather was too warm one weekend, I easily had the option to cancel for a refund or reschedule. I never once felt pressure to have to reschedule or like getting my money back would be hard. When my friend and I actually went ice climbing, there was about 30-40 mins of instruction from Frederick, the lead guide and preparations to gear up before heading down to the wall. And then Patrick was the other staff member who was on site with my friend and I to ensure the knots on our harnesses were tied properly every time, but he also helped us remove slack from the rope while belaying (which was necessary since my friend and I were beginners) and I also really appreciated the ground anchor as an added safety measure to mitigate weight differences between climber and belayer. In short, my friend and I never once felt like we could fall and could simply focus on having a good time and climbing. I think Patrick and Frederick's passion and enthusiasm for not just climbing but teaching really came through and made the experience. Just note that while the meeting time is 10am, you'll be climbing by like 11am so my advice would be to ensure you eat breakfast that morning of and have a light lunch/snack at 10:30am during the training otherwise you'll be like my friend who skipped breakfast to not eat until 2pm lol.

I couldn’t have wished for a better first time, outdoor climbing experience! From start to finish, ONE AXE was on point. The adventure was beautifully organized & executed. With all of their offerings, I can’t wait to create more awesome experiences and lasting memories.Huge thank you to Christa, Frederick, Bonnie & Steve for keeping me safe in the air (#AwesomeBelayers) and huge thanks to the rest of the team on the ground for the most amazing birthday weekend! ❤️

Awesome experience for myself and my 13 year olds!! One Axe staff were excellent at encouraging them when they felt like they couldn't continue. It was a beautiful day of inspired learning for all of us! Thank-you so much One Axe, you folks are so professional and friendly. We felt totally safe on your ropes! Donna Haskett of Guelph Ontario

I took one of their introductory rock climbing programs and I have to say I'm hooked! Fred and his team did such a great job. I'm terrified of heights and it wasn't at all what I expected. They made it a lot of fun and provided all the encouragement and support needed to make it an amazing day. I'm going to be going again and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Even if you think Heights aren't your thing, you might surprise yourself :)

Amazing. From start to finish you feel utterly safe. The 20 years of experience shows as this team not only prepares you but teaches you along the way. They are extremely patient and understanding as people of all ages and experience take to the ropes. They have inspired me to work on myself and health to achieve even more. Great team. Great experience.

I took my two kids (5 and 7) zip lining today across the Elora Gorge. The team was very professional and put my mind at ease with all the safety measures they have in place. My kids and I had an amazing time, One Axe pursuits allowed my kids to feel so comfortable that they had no fear and ran off the edge with big smiles on their faces. I highly recommend checking them out for your next family adventure.

We have used One Axe Pursuits on a few different adventures such as zip lining and rappelling. Their attention to detail, safety, experience and professionalism is top notch! My son has a physical disability and the One Axe team always takes their time to ensure not only safety, but inclusion. 100% recommend for both personal and cooperate events.

Got the opportunity to work with Frederick and Christa during an event at rattlesnake point. They are very easy to talk to and make you feel included as part of their team while prioritizing safety. Everyone had an amazing time participating! 10/10 recommend them for all your adventure needs! Fredrick also doubles as an amazing photographer.
