Vertex Climbing Gym

Climbing Gym

Gorden found climbing in 2005 and has been psyched ever since. Being a former student-athlete, climbing has given him a means to stay fit while participating in a sport that he loves. For Gorden climbing is more than a hobby it gives him to focus in training, recreation, and life. Gorden has also been a personal trainer since 2004. He established the well-rounded training department at Vertex and finds that practicing in both a climbing gym and strength studio has given him a unique understanding climber athletic development. Gorden has had the pleasure to train some phenomenally strong climbers, to see first-hand what makes them tick.

Gorden is a board certified strength and conditioning coach and holds a bachelors degree in kinesiology from Sonoma State University. As the owner of Vertex, he is dedicated to providing the space and programs for everyone to reach their full athletic potential. Read more

    I climbed at Vertex when I lived in NorCal. Other than the small size of the gym, they offered the best gym experience I have had in all aspects. They know how to make the most of the limited space they have. Everyone there from the members to the staff are friendly, encouraging, and community oriented. They also offer top notch courses and involve everyone from children to seniors. Also, Kevin Jorgenson climbs there. Way to go Vertex!

    The staff is extremely encouraging as well as all of the other climbers regardless of how hard you climb. Routes are similar to outsie ratings as well.

    This place was amazing. I was nervous being someone who has never climbed before but they are so warm and welcoming. All the staff was helpful and super friendly. They wanted everyone there to have fun and you could see that. This place is somewhere I will definitely go again.

    What a great community! The perfect place to workout while working on skills-love the lunchtime crunch time class. I always feel welcome when climbing or working out up in the gym. Definitely recommend getting a membership and joining this community.

    Loved my Climb Time!! Everyone was friendly and our belayer was not only super sweet and encouraging but gave excellent instruction!! They also honored a gift certificate that was probably over 10 years old! I hope to get back to this place soon. :)
