The routes get changed every semester or so for both bouldering and top rope climbing, and there are two auto-belays if you go there and don't have anyone to help belay you. (The people who go are also super nice--I've had people offer to belay me whenever I go alone!) They offer belay classes here as well--I think it's around $30, and once you're certified (they test you 3 times before letting you do your thing), you can come whenever you want! If you don't plan on getting belay-certified, you can still boulder whenever you want! :] For guests, it's just $5 for admission, which is about 1/4 the price of any day admission to the nearby climbing gyms. Harness rental is always free and shoe rental is $1 each time (free for your first time there though!)

So far I've been to Gravity Vault Chatham twice (with a third appointment this coming Sunday) and…read moreI've enjoyed it the both times I went. I signed up and reserved for a 1 hour staff belay session both of those times and really enjoyed it. I haven't rock climbed in years prior to coming here during quarantine, and there are many selections and the staff are very helpful. I especially enjoyed my session with Dave as he was really funny and encouraged my group to push our limits and climb to the top. As for COVID precautions, they have a occupancy limit of, i think, 75 people at a time so reservations have to be done beforehand and early if you want a specific date. Hand sanitizer is provided, and there are cubbies to put your shoes and small belongings before you climb. Masks are required at all times. All in all, I had a fun time and I'm looking forward to my next visit!

There are private and group lessons available as well as event rooms for special occasions or gatherings. Every few months they change up their climbing routes, which is nice. On top of that, they have great deals from Monday to Wednesday. Recently, they've opened a cafe serving coffee and food. There is a workout section if you want to warm up or if you're not in the mood to climb. We happened to visit 8/17/24 with some family and unbeknownst to us, it was their 19th anniversary and they've been open since 1995! As part of the celebration, they hosted raffles, offered great deals, huge discounts on merch, and had food available for everyone! It was definitely an unexpected but nice surprise! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend this place, it's a ton of fun and offers something for everyone!

There are other available gyms that are taller like: GV Hoboken, Goat, etc. In terms of bouldering it seems small and limited. A section that piqued my interest was the overhang tunnel.

It is pretty empty for the two times that I have been to, which is good to keep your distances (6ft separation) during COVID times. For a person like me who is coming from NYC to Jersey it involves quite of travel (toll) and single day entry price. If I was richer then I wouldn't mind it because it is worth it. This place has plenty of lead routes and the cave problems are traverse and challenging. This is a really good place to come for exercising and keeping yourself healthy in spite of Covid times Overall, this place is wonderful to come and enjoy an amazing time

Not sure if that a correct explanation but it's perfect for beginners like us.

Staff here is nice and welcoming but we were a little confused on where to leave our things but luckily I spotted lockers in the bathrooms, no lock needed - there's instructions on how to set it up nearby! We had so much fun challenging ourselves to something new like this and will be back again, soon. Parking in Hoboken is always tricky but not too bad on a Thursday night when we came just arrive early to look for a spot. And book online!
