Vertical World – America’s First Climbing Gym® provides a unique training facility and specialized programs for youth and adults within our communities. The gym was no more than rocks glued to painted plywood panels. Today, with more advanced facilities, the Vertical World can accommodate a variety of custom group climbing needs, including: birthday parties, school and church groups, corporate events, private parties, and youth camps.

We just want to take a quick moment to acknowledge all the hard work our setters have been putting into getting the new gym up and running!

Our setting team has truly put in hours and hours of blood (literally), sweat and tears to set over 150 brand new boulders just for you guys.

There really is no gym without setters. Their attention to detail and commitment to the craft is truly commendable.

Right now our setting interns are training and gearing up to bring you even more rad climbs soon. Growing the team means more diversity variety and fresh ideas in every set.

Everyone say, “Thank you, setters!”🫶

Have you climbed any of the boulders in our new gym?
