Vertical Rock Indoor Climbing Center

Climbing Gym

When we set out to create Vertical Rock we envisioned a facility that was not only capable of challenging the very best and long-time climbing enthusiast, but a facility that would also allow beginners and intermediate climbers to join, learn and grow.

Vertical Rock’s extensive class and program offerings provide an ideal environment for learning the sport of rock climbing. We take pride in providing top notch instruction, knowledgeable and friendly staff, as we work diligently to create fresh and challenging climbing terrain, and a comprehensive sense of community.

As the premier Rock Climbing Community in Virginia, we invite you to come and visit our facility and take part in the camaraderie, fitness and fun challenges of Rock Climbing. Read more

    Went for our first time today (myself, my son and daughter and her friend). The girls got about half way up the first climb and got scared. George (our belayer) did a great job encouraging them to keep going until they made it to the top. We all had a blast and will definitely be going again...and again!!

    It has been a very nice place for climbing inside all the time; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and between. I recommend them to keep up the good work as they are doing. So, everybody will continuously climb, exercise, socialize, enjoy their good lives.

    I brought my daughter here for her first rock climbing experience. The facility is very nice, but the staff really made this place. Hassel free and very friendly. The instructor took his time with my daughter and encouraged her to challenge herself. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

    Visited VR for the first time in March and fell in love with my first climb. The VR member who belayed my husband and I was so helpful and positive that she made it feel easy to push through to more challenging climbs. I decided to join right away and have loved it ever since. It's a fantastic facility with very friendly and laid back staff who love climbing so it seems like it's enjoyable for them to be there helping. :) I've since joined the Meet Ups a few times and have been able to get stronger and learn with each climb. Last night's Meet Up was a great group of 8 or 9 of us total last night. Big group with all different ranges of skill levels but all so supportive and encouraging. And Victor (VR employee who led up the MeetUp) is so much fun and generous with his advice on moving past a stumbling block on a climb. Joining this gym was the best decision I've made in a while. Looking forward to checking out the Kickboxing and Cross Fit-like classes they provide as well!
