Vertex Climbing Center

Positive experience: Vertex is a great rock gym, and for many years the only game in town for indoor climbing in Sonoma county, even all of the north bay. The route setting is good, but pretty heavily sand bagged. (Meaning the routes are graded as being much easier than they actually are) This, in combination with the fact that I wish they had additional crash pads in the bouldering area, are why I give four instead of five stars. I took a date here once who broke her foot on a boulder, which isn't the gym's fault but I do personally feel the padding could be better.

Fantastic experience: Great people and good walls. Don't feel bad if you can't do a V0, they're harder here.

Fantastic experience: What a great place to go climbing! Very friendly and helpful staff. As soon as you walk in, you're hit with a wonderful energy that encompasses the whole place. I brought my friends child for his first time, and he also loved it! They have harness free climbing as well. And the price wasn't bad at all for an all-day pass. They also provide shoe and harness rentals. I strongly recommend this business!

Fantastic experience: Loved it. Super friendly staff. Good amount of bouldering and 3 auto belays so climbing alone wasn't an issue.

Fantastic experience: So happy they're open again. Feeling very safe with the current level of occupancy and covid measures. Booking system works well.
