Vertex Climbing Center

The staff are kind and helpful, and relative to other gyms in the area, Vertex is well priced. I walked in a complete beginner and have climbed 5 days a week since! Sarah welcomed me and gave me a brief orientation of the stomping grounds - but it seems like there's always more to discover!! Since then, Kai, Gordon, and Trey have given me advice - thanks!The route setters are constantly coming up with new routes to keep the gym exciting, and have recently added new events and clubs, such as outdoor climbing at St. Helena and a holiday movie night. Although I'm a shy climber, the supportive community and staff and variety of beginner climbs helped me not to feel intimidated. I've never met a rude person there - everyone is always happy to discuss the climbs and offer advice when asked!I highly recommend giving it a try!! Especially if you feel intimidated or bored with your regular gym or routine. I highly recommend going early morning (6am-10am) or late evening (8pm-10pm); their rush hours (2pm-7pm) are wild.My only complaint would be that Vertex is incredibly addicting!

Amazing place with great walls and equipment, a little too pricy (though I don't know what the standard is for climbing centers in this area)

Started climbing at Vertex (and in general) in November of 2022! I became OBSESSED IMMEDIATELY, not only with climbing but with Vertex in general! Climbing has absolutely changed my life, physically, mentally and in all ways! Vertex offered a sense of community that I missed dearly, not being from the area. I love Vertex and take anyone who visits me, there for a climb, or yoga and Pilates class! They offer so many awesome classes, including HIIT and aerial silks! If you're ever looking for a new gym, place to host a kids party, or just a day of fun, swing by Vertex, you won't regret it! A true hidden gem in Santa Rosa! 💖

As a family we all started to get into climbing a few years years ago. Just a random trip to Vertex every few months. Covid hit, I had all our gear in a climbing bag that was stolen, etc and we just stopped.About 8 months ago we got back into it... More regularly. My daughter (10) signed up for the Mini-monkeys program and we never looked back. She now climbs on Team 1. I've been totally bitten by the bug and have had the time of my life exploring this new challenge.Having been an athlete that has been able to pretty easily excel in whatever I've put my mind to physically, it has been an extremely humbling experience starting rock climbing at 45.I love this gym. I feel like I've really earned it when I clear a problem at vertex. I'm very much a beginner/novice climbing in the v3 range. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful and welcoming. Having hung around now for a few months. You see a lot of the familiar faces and a strong sense of community. I will be heading there with my two kiddos this afternoon and already can't wait.Vertex has made me and my family feel welcomed as a beginner/newcomer and thankful for the facility, experience and camaraderie that vertex offers.A truly top notch place in Sonoma county. Big shout out to Kai, Sarah, Celia, Jasper and Dave who have supported not only my daughter's growth on the team, but have enriched our whole family s experience at Vertex and instrumental in making rock climbing feel approachable to a middle-aged dude like myself. 🤣🤣

Vertex is more than a climbing gym and fitness program. It's an amazing community of people that you can build lasting relationships with. Everyone there, staff and fellow climbers alike want you to succeed at your goals and have fun while doing it.You can show up and do your own thing of course but don't hesitate to take advantage of all of their classes both fitness and climbing alike.If you find yourself climbing "easier" routes that are below your normal skill level question why other gyms can't met the challenge. You'll be a much stronger and skillful climber as each route challenges your body and mind.I swear I don't work for them I just really love it there and I hope you'll enjoy it too. 😊

Fun, and definitely an experience. We went to the climb time hour they offer and it was a fun experience, very friendly staff and encouraging would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try out indoor rock climbing, they have a bouldering area that’s pretty cool and offers varying difficulty tracks. Some pretty high walls also offered with their auto belay and top rope belay. Worth trying at least once!

So happy I stumbled upon this place. Being new to climbing a few months back I wasn’t sure what to expect. The amount of consistent encouragement and help I’ve received from the staff has been unreal. Kai, Gordon, Jasper, Sarah, Kelly, Courtney, just to name a few of the star studded staff, have been such a pleasure to be around on this new journey. If you are interested in trying out climbing this is the place to check out for sure.Also they have a full gym on the second level with classes free to members every week!

Great place with great staff.We went there with the kids (5 year old) and it was the first time climbing for the kids and wife.The staff was very helpful and we could rent all the gear there.There are three auto belayer routes. 2 are for beginners and doable for the kids.We got there early in the morning, 8 am on a Saturday and had the place basically to us until 9:30. Afterwards ppl started to drop in.We all had fun and will be back again!

Awesome climbing gym! Steven front desk (if I have his name right! I mean the most friendly and very helpful with awesome beard and dreadlocks) is the most welcoming and helpful staff the gym overall always crowded. There are also small workouts area with some quipments and yoga mat to accommodate the member. Fun place to climb.

•Loveable staff and friendly community.•Creative and challenging wall puzzles that push you towards your best.• Affordable membership at $65 a month including free classes from Yoga, Climbing, Crossfit, and a upstairs workout area.•Clean facility aside from chalk, but hey that's climbing.I really do love this place, and highly recommend Vertex to the curious and adventurous!
