The Gravity Vault Hoboken, NJ

I recently visited The Gravity Vault in Hoboken, and it was an awesome experience! My belay was super helpful and kept encouraging me to push myself and try more climbs. The staff were all really friendly, and the prices were pretty reasonable too. The whole place was clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even better. I had a lot of fun and definitely want to go back to try more challenging climbs—and maybe even work toward becoming a certified rock climber!

A great place to do some rock climbing before trying it on a actual mountain. Never been to such a place and the experience was amazing. The staff is very hospitable and they are generous enough to offer us Rock Climbing and Bouldering both under the same price for a friend’s birthday. Highly recommended for a team’s event or any outings with friends. Solid experience and worth the money. They have lockers which are free to put your belongings as well

After climbing at this gym for several months, I noticed several things that created a disappointing experience. This gym does not clean their holds (I have seen route setters use chalky holds when setting new routes), plus many holds need to be replaced (worn out with no texture left). The cracks are very chalky (again, never cleaned), so there is minimal grip. The routes will stay up for months (some as long as 4-5 months); climbing can get boring since there is infrequent route setting. Aside from the poor climbing experience, the facility isn't great. It is often too warm, especially when climbing in spots near the window without a fan. Some staff are poorly trained, with many instructors allowing beginner groups to climb on overlapping routes. I wouldn't recommend to regular/ experienced climbers. If you are going infrequently or are a beginner, it's fine.

Been going here for a couple of times and the climbs are great. Especially for beginners. They change up the walls seasonally so there will be. Ew challenges

We celebrated my son's 5th birthday here at Gravity Vault Hoboken. The climbing party was a lot of fun for all! Most, if not all, kids are first timers but that didn't present any issues. They were all excited from the moment they wore the harnesses. Belayers were very attentive, they provided easy instructions and encouraged the kids to keep climbing. After the climb, kids and parents did a few rounds of tug of war and that just added tons of fun! In addition to the the climbing activity, we had a short party in the yoga room. The staff were fast to assist in setting up the tables and chairs. Except for no piñatas and alcohol, there are almost no restrictions for room usage. We were able to bring food, drinks, decors, and music in there. We had a total of 30 guests and the yoga room was just the right size for us, the floor to ceiling window was a good add to the ambience. Over all it was a superb event at Gravity Vault! Izzy, Bar, Brian and the rest of the staff are all amazing.
