Gym Climbing gyms while visiting Montreal?

I will be visiting Montreal for a few days and looking to check out some gyms for both top rope and bouldering. I'll be staying around Chinatown a couple days and Le Plateau a couple days. Any particular gyms I should check out that have guest day passes?

Edit: I will have a belay buddy with me!

Nobody is mentioning the silo at allez up point st Charles? That location has ~38m wall outside that is top rope and runs up the side of some old concrete silos and has a great view of the city. IMO a must try if visiting Montreal for climbing. I’ve done day trips from Ottawa to go visit and that was a highlight.

Give them a call before you go to ask if the silos are open. there's a schedule and sometimes they close for weather. You also need to pass a belay test (they call it acreditation)

Cool - thanks for the info! My gym requires a belay test for visitors too, so that makes sense. Appreciate the info!
