We were having a lazy Sunday morning watching TV and decided we should get outside for some fresh air. We didn't feel like walking a lot since the weather was warm, so we happily found 2 Adirondack chairs in the shade at the park. The views of the Bay were gorgeous and it was the perfect spot to read our books. There was plenty of space for neighboring groups to spread out, so we liked the chill, non touristy, and quiet environment. We are already planning to picnic there with a friend and her little one.

I regularly climb in SF at movement and touchstone gyms but today I came here with two of my…read morefriends and I really felt the need to write an honest review of my experience. It might help others from the city who want to try out this gym in Marin to not waste their money and have a bad time when there are so many better climbing gyms in San Francisco. When we came in we were greeted by a man who's name I believe was Bill and despite us detailing our climbing experience and showing our belay certification cards from touchstone and movement, two well-known climbing gym companies in the Bay Area, he was condescending to us and mansplained the entire time and turned what should be a simple belay test into a 45 minute lecture nitpicking every single thing we did. Some of the things he stated were "facts" and to "check the official website" seemed outdated and not common in the climbing community. For example: - When he asked what a climber would say to the belayer when they want the rope tighter, I said most people say "less slack, tighter, or take" but he was adamant in saying it's not right to use those terms and use "up rope" instead which I have not commonly heard people say when climbing at all the other gyms - At one of the harness safety checks he did not tolerate me just saying "make sure all the buckles are double-backed" and said I must point to each buckle and explain exactly what double-backed means (as in explain how the fabric must go under and over the buckles) each time I do my safety checks - Furthermore, he had a problem with the way that I, a short 5'3 woman, bent down a little bit when moving my guide hand under my brake hand and said that I must stand up completely straight when belaying which is not true. Plenty of instructors that you can google youtube videos on teaching belay also do this and later on I even saw the other employees do the exact same slight bend down when belaying climbers in their class - As well, he argued with us that we should not be holding the rope with both hands under the device in brake position and to only hold it with the brake hand. Not only was he incorrect about this, other gyms like touchstone and movement would fail you on the belay certification if you did not make sure to use both hands under the device for falling / brake position with the PBUS system for extra safety - He was patronizing to us when he questioned if we knew how to use a grigri, and I showed him that I have my own grigri device (in addition to the fact that I brought all of my own equipment and did not use any of their rentals), but he still mansplained how to use the grigri to us and chastised that I wasn't doing it correctly because I used my left thumb to pull back the handle instead of my index and middle fingers. Like I mentioned he had turned a simple test into a 45 minute back and forth and I could make an even more extensive list which would continue to go on but overall he made the entire experience at Gravity Vault unwelcoming and unbearably patronizing. I hope that this thorough account of how he treated us helps someone else out there who is considering this gym. The only good feature about this climbing gym is that there are auto-belay options available which doesn't exist at Touchstone Mission Cliffs, Movement Presidio, and other San Francisco climbing gym locations.

Our tour guides were hilarious, entertaining, and did an amazing job making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. They even sang Happy Birthday to him at the end of our zipline tour as he repelled from the tree. They really made the tour memorable. We also reserved one of a Treehouse for an overnight stay, and it was absolutely beautiful! It had such a fun glamping feel and was fully furnished with everything we needed. I was worried I might be cold overnight, but there was a heater that kept the treehouse nice and cozy. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating from start to finish. We truly had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Sonoma Zipline Adventures and the treehouse stay to our friends and family.
