Fun climbing gym, enjoy the variety of top rope climbs and bouldering options. The 3 auto belays also make climbing alone pleasant. The equipment gym is small, but has the necessities and is never crowded. Fun place!

We love this Gym. We have a family membership and it’s a great value. On a recent visit Gina provided amazing support. She responded and resolved an issue with grace and a smile. Thank you for your help! This rock climbing gym is our favorite!

This place is perfect for any level. They were so nice and accommodating for our family with a five and three year old. They had an absolute blast and there were plenty of walls for them to try out and no waiting. Such a wonderful experience for the whole family! Thank you vertical hold for a great experience :)

This place deserves all the stars! I've been to a few different climbing gyms, but this one is by far the best. Not once have I had a negative experience with the staff or the members. The community is so amazing and inclusive, and it's the best, most supportive climbing environment there is!

Vertical Hold has three separate gyms that membership gets you access too. This one is my favorite. The staff is very chill, there is plenty of top roping lead climbing, and bouldering. There is also plenty of parking. If you are looking to learn or to improve your skills, this is a great gym in the area to try out.
