From the reviews
My granddaughter wanted to go rock climbing, so we came to the Gravity Vault & opted for the 1 hour session. The staff provided great assistance & climbing directions, especially Fernando. There were a lot of climbers of varying ages & skill levels. We had a great time & would definitely come back.
Clean, spacious, the top of the wall is kinda hard to match more of a sloper finish rather than a mega jug on a modern wall. There's a more modern wall in the back. Happy hour is Friday 5 to closing so only paid $28 for 2 day passes.
Been climbing here a long time and in recent months they have really upped their game. Climbing is a big part of my life and so it really means a lot when the gym makes an effort to foster its community.
This place is fantastic not only for climbing at any time but also for hosting birthday parties. We recently celebrated our child’s birthday here, and everything was managed perfectly. Evan did an outstanding job, expertly handling the party and inspiring the kids to climb higher with his enthusiasm.
