The gym was established by the legendary Peter Slivka in 1993 and became a go-to for many Ottawa climbers.
The gym went through a facelift in 2011 when Slivka moved back to his home country of Slovakia and Petra, his daughter, became the new owner.
VR closed as of December 30th, 2018, when the NCC (the owner of the property) closed all of Victoria Island for a soil remediation project.
The island is projected to be re-opened around 2025, however the gym is not expected to re-open at the old location.
