The Gravity Vault - Upper Saddle River, NJ

"If you are looking for a class to get you out of beginner mode, I highly recommend Tony and Chandler's Adult Technique Class here. They are incredibly knowledgeable. Incorporate exercise training with climbing. I have taken two sessions already and the improvement is very noticeable. Sign up and see yourself improve. The walls also are not as high as other places but they make up for it by kicking your butt with harder climbs. They give you a challenge."

"Loved it! Got a belay certification class from Sarah and she was a great teacher!! Then we bouldered around and enjoyed the routes. It wasn't always clear where the start was for the routes. Overall really nice staff, clean gym, and a wonderful experience :)"

"Loved it here!! We went in the early afternoon of a work day and basically had the place to ourselves which was great because I brought along someone new to the sport. There were so many routes to try (they were actively updating routes while we were there) and so many options for us to belay climb. This gym in particular doesn’t have as many auto belays for solo climbing as GOAT gym does (for example) so bear this in mind when you are going if you plan on climbing alone or with a friend who may not be belay certified. You will wind up running the same few walls over and over. But, that aside, the facility was great! Bright lighting, clean gym, smelled good, can’t complain one bit! They also have a kilter wall which was such an awesome piece of technology to use!! Highly recommend this place!"

"Clean, spacious, the top of the wall is kinda hard to match more of a sloper finish rather than a mega jug on a modern wall. There's a more modern wall in the back. Happy hour is Friday 5 to closing so only paid $28 for 2 day passes. Setting is decent, felt like the lower end climbs were half a grade harder than my home gym, Movement Columbia. Would come again if I'm in town. There's also a kilter lemur board and moon board, a training area with hangboards. Has both roped and Bouldering areas."

"My granddaughter wanted to go rock climbing, so we came to the Gravity Vault & opted for the 1 hour session. The staff provided great assistance & climbing directions, especially Fernando. There were a lot of climbers of varying ages & skill levels. We had a great time & would definitely come back."
