There is plenty of parking around the area of this gym, parking was not a issue at all for us.
As we came in we saw that the place is pretty nice and large, with lots of walls and plenty things to do (so we thought) we had a tour of the gym and saw all walls and the members only gym too.
They had some walls with a machine kind of thing that made possible to climb with no need of a spotter? idk if that is what is called, the person who holds a cord.
They also had a "pit" that apparently only people who had classes with them has access and they also have some short walls that not equipment is necessary.
IT is a lot at first but once we saw the price and realized that we could not really use the entire place it was a bit of a let down.
now, I wanna make sure to let you all know I understand that safety is important and a class or two should be necessary to use certain more challenging walls. HOWEVER, they charge like almost 40 dollars and have a hour class to use all areas, besides the "pit" (this place only if you gave them enough amounts of money in form of classes"
now, I get it to charge a fee to teach, but most people like me who wanna come for one time and get to experience the place cannot.
They could make the class shorter and cheaper or think about something to make possible to train new people safely and in an affordable way so they can have more people who will wanna use their facilities.
I will probably not come back I was only able to use a couple of walls and it was not worth it in the end as a first time user of the gym, seems ikon this place is made for people to commit to It and not meant for people to come and experiment and see if they would like the sport.
This place is SO cool. As an inexperienced climber, their staff was friendly and helpful, gave a great tour and explained the different levels of difficulty. There's something for everyone here... Bouldering wall, free climb, auto belay, shoe and harness rentals. Really cool use of shipping containers for offices and separation of spaces too!
The staff here are incredible!! I hosted an event here and the whole experience start to finish was smooth and seamless. Easy to book online, great communication prior to the event and really attentive throughout the event. Everyone had a great time and will be back. Thank you Vertical Venture!
For 18 dollars you can't even use the training place... You buy a chalk bag with chalk ball insteaf of normal one.. which is stupid... And waivers.. The holds are slippery, should be washed long time ago... And on and on... You should learn something from European gyms.
Awesome climbing gym! The staff is amazing and super helpful, especially if you're starting out. The two week membership intro deal is a great way to get into it and will definitely hook you.
I love Vertical Ventures. The monthly membership comes with rock climbing, a full gym, cross fit class, yoga classes, plus 20% gear that you need as you advance your climbing skills. They have an awesome deal on groupon as well. The staff is super cool. I love bringing friends to VV because a lot of people don't think they can rock climb and it's so beautiful to watch their self doubt fade away as they become more confident on the wall. Love, love, love Vertical Ventures. Plus they have a kids climbing program and when I see them around the gym they are always having a good time!
My husband and I have been going twice a week for 3 years. Climbing is a fun activity to get you both to put the internet down and do something together. The staff are always friendly and the route get changed frequently enough to keep it interesting.
Lots of fun for a decent price. There is a $10 option to climb both on the freewall climb and the automatic rope system. I had a blast and ended up tiring myself out. Great for working out and testing your body's limit. I think this is a great place for experienced climbers as well. There are wall climbs you need a partner for, as well as climbs that require securing your rope before you ascend. The place is almost secluded in a way beneath a bridge. Which has its ups and downs. Less people. It seems to not be crowded so you can usually get a spot on the wall to yourself. Parking isn't as crowded so you can find a spot usually.
Been coming here for a few months now and I love it. Some nights are busier than others, but always a good time for Bouldering. They also have amazing Yoga classes.

Awesome alternative to normal gyms, they have yoga classes, climbing classes, Cross fit, and a small yet functional free weight training room. Definitely judgement free incase you're worried about that. Fair prices on gear rental, trial memberships, and their belay class. They're monthly membership may seem steep at $60 a month how ever you have to keep in mind that you're paying for a massive Rock climbing gym, free classes mentioned before, and a free weight gym.
A very modern looking and awesome rock climbing gym. All the routes are monochromatic (a single different colour for each route) making it easy to know which hold go with which route. Just around the corner from the Burg as well.

Amazing experience and equally amazing workout. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Surprisingly affordable for a rock climbing gym. They also offer accommodations for parties and team building experiences, as well as special perks if you join as a member!

Great fun for the whole family. We were visiting friends in the area who are regulars and they couldn't wait to take us. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great vibe.
The best rock climbing gyms that I've ever been to in four different countries. clean and modern with lots of room to Boulder and climb at a very affordable price
Amazing! If you like climbing you already know what to expect. They have an extensive bouldering area with several options for all levels. They also have top rope routes with self or partner belay, and "the pit" for more advanced climbers with much longer routes. Staff is amazing and helpful.

My wife surprised me with a date night here and we had a great time. Friendly, helpful staff and fun even if you have no prior experience.
Great place. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Went twice so far with a group of kids. They love it.
I enjoy this place they do a really good job there. Great customer service with one of the younger sales reps there. He helped me pick out some shoes. They will make sure to have you fill out their waiver form, then will give you a guided tour afterwards. There are many stations to experience from novice to expert. Each wall is rated so you know how difficult the climb is before you start. I can't wait to go back again, I just wish they were closer to Dunedin Clearwater area. Thanks.

LOVE IT. They train you excellent before you start climbing. Lots of places to climb and there's even a work out spot for members. Love it.
Excellent facilities with changing routes every now and then to keep you entertained. The members and staff are welcoming and always willing to help you get the to next level. I also participate in their, free for members, fitness classes!
Went here with my friend and her boyfriend and absolutely loved it! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and learned something new. Instructor was upbeat and very hands on. Only downside is that we went on a Friday and it was extremely packed. We weren't able to wait around so ended up leaving. So you might benefit from calling ahead of time or going on a Saturday.
This is a great place for fitness or fun! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere in general is very welcoming and relaxed. There is something available for every level of climber.
Vertical ventures also has classes, like yoga, CrossFit, and climbing technique. There is either a discount or no charge for the classes if you are a member.
There's even a workout room for members where you can do strength or aerobic training, stretch, or practice on the incline wall, tread climber, or fingerboards.
All ages are welcome, although it is recommended to children above five. Truly a great place to spend time and get fit!
An amazing place for all ages. My boyfriend, myself and our two kids ages 11 and 4 went there tonight. A perfect Saturday family night. We will be back!
I'm a big supporter and member of Vertical Ventures. I would highly recommend becoming a member, as you get access to both of their gym locations. Recently, I've found that this location in St. Pete is always suffering from a community that doesn't brush the climbing holds enough. It's a bit gross if you ask me because the oil and the excess chalk just build up on the holds. I can only refer to the bouldering area though, as I tend to not get on any of the rope routes. For now, I'll keep going to the Tampa location, but I would like to see more effort from the VV staff to keep the holds in better condition (especially since a set will stay up for a few weeks at a time).
Staff was super friendly and helpful. They had a great 2 week membership deal for only 25 bucks that included all equipment rentals and a belay class. They even had a full gym with Olympic weights! Very fun rock climbing gym.
Terrible experience. Staff is overbearing and unprofessional. They will trap you into spending more money than you would need to at any other climbing gym
I love this place. Before coming here, I hadn't consistently exercised in years. Years! Now I come here every week. The community is awesome and super supportive, and they update the walls with new tracks every Monday, so every week you get something new; the employees are really helpful and encouraging as well.
I feel better than I've felt in years, and I see myself growing and getting stronger. I love climbing because it's like exercise combined with solving a puzzle. If you can't finish a track, you step back and analyze the problem. Maybe you watch someone else complete the track, and you keep trying until you get it. I could go on and on about this place. If you're looking for a different kind of workout and nothing else has done it for you, give vertical ventures a try.
The staff there were very friendly and helpful. The time between entry and being prepared to start climbing was minimal and after a thorough tour of the different climbing areas I felt I had the confidence and information I needed to start climbing. As a first time climber it was a great amount of fun for a very cheap price and if I were in the area I'd gladly do it again
I had been meaning to go to Vertical Ventures for a while before my first visit. After I did I fell in love with climbing and have now been a member for two months. Vertical Ventures is great whether you're just looking for a one-off afternoon/evening of something fun to do or if, like me, you want to explore a new way to exercise while having a blast. I never thought I would actually look forward to working out.
There's a split between climbing walls where you can autobelay or belay with a partner and bouldering walls. I've met over a dozen employees and they're all great. I was afraid I would be intimidated, but I've never felt that way and everyone who works there seems really happy to be there. Most days there seem to be a significant number of people who are there on a date night, a group activity, or a couple of kids having a birthday party so I never feel silly being a beginner and everyone always seems to be having a good time. I've been when it's super crowded and it's never felt like i couldn't get the most out of the experience.
St. Pete is the bigger, fancier location that has a large variety of walls and even "the pit" for higher-level climbers. It's got an awesome ambiance and tons of room to run around and explore all the routes!
I love this place!
Great parking - which makes it easy and accessible to get into the building without having to walk super far or being worried about finding a place to park.
The staff is very friendly, very helpful and overall willing to do whatever they can to make sure you are all set for your visit.
If you want to come in and just watch and see what's going on you can do so for free you just have to fill out a waiver- everyone has to do this just to keep the gym from any liabilities.
If you want to come to climb you can do so for as little as a quick $10 climb which includes your harness rental. Shoes are extra.
The best price is the monthly membership, especially if you can come more often.
A lot of different places you can climb and have fun even if you are there alone by yourself.
There's also a small gym where you can warm up or work on your strength building for your climbing skills.
Other patrons that come are also helpful and nice to be around.
If you have never tried rock climbing then I suggest giving vertical Ventures try... You may just like it and keep coming back!
Awesome gym, lots of space and different routes, owners are great. Great place to try out climbing for your first time, or even to go daily. Routes are changed every few weeks, so you are guaranteed to see something different every time you go.
Great place to climb. Lots of routes. The gym is always clean and an overall great atmosphere.
Great place for climbing for all skill levels. Instructional classes available. Staff is easily approachable and very knowledgeable. Patrons are friendly. Smells like a dirty locker room though.
This gym is absolutely beautiful. Definitely aesthetically pleasing. However, I climb on a regular basis in Orlando and the staff here did not seem all that well experienced or educated in climbing. Because we were visiting from Orlando, my husband had to rent gear and I guess this means for the staff to come by and harass us in the lead pit (although we had already been checked off by a staff member). We were questioned a total of 4 times about climbing in the lead pit. Which made us incredibly uncomfortable. I understand there biggest concern is safety but if you have customers who have been checked off and have the tag to be there. Trust that they are meant to be there. It's your process, and if you have reason to question it, change it.
Absolutely fantastic climbing facility. Great for climbers of all ages and capabilities. I like that they allow you to take the class and get a membership for 2 weeks so you can continue to get the climbing bug. Everything is provided and having been there several times I appreciate their stress on safety. I wish there were other places closer to go climbing but getting to Vertical Ventures in St. Pete's is worth the drive.
