Large slab wall
Learn precise movement and balance that cannot be faked with momentum.
Climbing here since 1995
Old-school climbing. Real community.
Learn the ropes, work your project, and find people who will remember your name.
Climbing comes first
Show up. Learn something. Keep climbing.
No velvet rope and no required uniform. There is a place to begin, people to ask, and another route waiting when you are ready.
What makes Vertex different
Inspired by outdoor climbing challenges
A large slab, top-out bouldering, multiple cracks, and stiff grades that won't leave you shocked when you climb on real rock.
Top-out bouldering
Finish the problem by standing on top, just as you would outside.
Multiple crack climbs
Practice jams, body position, and real crack-climbing technique.
No soft grades
Grades should give useful feedback and prepare you for climbing outside.
Everything you need is available at the front desk.
