“Absolutely love this new climbing gym! The space is clean, modern, and thoughtfully set up, but the real highlight is their board area. The Kilter/LED boards are super well-calibrated, the angles are perfect, and the problems are creative without feeling gimmicky. You can tell the routesetting team actually climbs on boards themselves-everything feels intentional and fun to session. Whether you’re working power moves, tension, or just want a good pump, the board section alone makes the membership worth it. Staff are friendly, vibes are great, and it already feels like a community. Highly recommend checking it out!”

“Very fun place for a team bonding activity! Instructors Angel and Raph were super friendly and showed us how to safely rock climb (and fall). The routes vary in level of difficulty and there are quite a few options for beginners. Definitely recommend it!”

“Great addition to the gravity vault family, really nice bouldering focused gym with multiple kilter boards for whenever you run out of climbs, thought the sets were very nice.”
