I was told that I get a guest pass once per month with my membership..then when I try to use it; $35 per guest!! There was apparently a discrepancy among staff which memberships have which privileges but ~$58 for a pass + gear rental is absurd. The owners should really think about encouraging new people to join rather than charge almost what a month costs for 1 day. Very disappointed in the greed here. Otherwise ————- Excellent Gym!! Auto belays, new routes, ease of access…hours could extend a bit but otherwise great 🤙🏽

Really loving this place, it's fantastic. Lots of walls and ropes, many excellent boulders. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and there are always enough people working. Great for kids parties, safe spot for teens. Very clean, fun & challenging routes. About 80 ropes, 4-6 auto-belays. They have excellent instructors for their classes. New routes every week. Store prices are moderate, selection is relatively small. Yoga classes are small and well done. Routes change every week. It's very clean there. Well lit, good air circulation, and plenty of parking. Try climbing!

Perfectly fine climbing gym, but they charge twice for the same kid on the same day when kids attend a birthday party. So you have to buy an “all day” pass plus an “all day” equipment rental after having already paid for both at a birthday party. They could at least offer a discount. Way to gouge on kids.

We really enjoy Gravity Vault. The staff is helpful and encouraging when they are belaying you. We hosted my son’s birthday party here and it was awesome. We also came to climb during their 3 year anniversary and had a lot of fun.

Almost everything relevant has been posted regarding the new Gravity Vault. Space is clean, staff is helpful, very-kid-friendly! #2 your hours: I know you have already stated your use permits restrict opening hours to 9am. That's bonkers! There are a lot of well connected, outspoken privileged wealthy people here in Marin. What do you need in order to change your use permit? To change your hours? Your community can help you. ;) Other than those two issues, I think this gym was long overdue. The need and want in this county is real. Thanks for being here! Lean on us. How can we help you open earlier - for real real
