I brought my crazy crew of six kids out to Vertical Hold last week for our first rock climbing experience and Alana was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and professional! Her lessons were outstanding, and the kids & I all felt safe and confident. Thanks for a great experience, Alana!

My favorite rock climbing place ever!! This place is perfect for learning how to rock climbing and some more advanced stuff. Great super friendly staff that was super helpful. They provide shoes and harnesses which are great. They also have a great deal on Groupon were you can buy a 30 day subscription were you buy a little key card and it has as many uses as you need. It’s a great place and a great deal. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great staff. Jenna in particular was very helpful. This is a great place for learning climbing techniques.

It was a new but such a fun experience for the whole family, Dawson, the staff, was helpful, knowledgeable, and super friendly

Great gym, friendly and personable staff, lots of hard problems and routs

Looks alot better than before. Nice to stop by and check out. Mats are clean, holds are clean. Jenna and the set crew did a great job.

Amazing gym. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Justin handles everything needed quickly and efficiently. Hes also great for pro tips on any climbing challenge you are facing. This is my regular gym after years of searching for the right location and activity to keep in shape.

Was pleasantly surprised from the last time we visited, which has been several years ago. The new owner seems to making changes for the better. I wished we lived closer, would visit more often.

I brought my 3 kids and husband for the first time and they all loved it! Definitely will be back. Staff was super helpful and we found so many levels of difficulty, even the 3 year old had fun! Seriously best vacation decision yet!

The smallest of the three Solid Rock Gym locations but the staff seems to be the friendliest. Youll be engaged as you arrive and let them know if you need some advice, theyll chat with you. Two small boulders and not much lead climbing space. There is a small free weight area but no fitness equipment.

Going to Solid Rock Gym is literally the most venturesome thing to do in the San Marcos. The gym is clean and the staff treats you like family. The music is stellar. The ladys night promo is super tight. Would highly recommend to anyone. Id give it two thumbs up and a high five.

Pretty cool rock climbing gym. There are a lot of different paths to follow and a lot of cool structures that mix things up. Plus there is a couple bouldering areas. Definitely worth a try.

Great bouldering routes in the back. Just got in new bumper plates for their olympic bar. Simple gym equipment.

This climbing gym is great! Since VH took over Solid Rock this guy has seen a lot of tlc. Its one of the only gyms in the area with a Moon board!

I am an experienced boulderer, and I want you to know that this gym is unsafe before you purchase a pass. One of the most important aspects of indoor climbing is the routesetting. Routes needs to be set in a thoughtful manner and tested to ensure they are rated properly and safe. At Vertical Hold in San Marcos, the majority of the routes were clearly just thrown up, with absolute beginner routes on high overhangs (no way could or should any beginner do that!) while others had obviously not even been run by the routesetter. Much of the joy of bouldering is the opportunity to hit ones limit and spend a few days returning to figure out a problem. I found no compelling problems at that gym; it was just full of tragedies. I cant speak to the quality of the top-roping, but I have to think most of the positive reviews left here were not by people who went to the gym for bouldering.

I had a great time here, the staff and fellow climbers helped me learn the ropes pun intended.

Good staff. Well set climbs. Challenging walls

Staff and other climber have always been immensely welcoming and helpful. Wonderful place for beginners and veterans to enjoy a positive athletic experience.

YMCA camp for my daughter was here. The facility was well kept and staff was great with the kids.

Great equipment, great workout, great staff, just overall awesome place!

Staff here is super friendly and accommodating.

Probably not worth the $10 day pass. Routes were reachy and poorly set. Holds were greasy and indicative of being rarely changed. Additionally, holds spun on almost every single route.

Just needs to be cleaned more often and maybe not charge members for bringing guest

Pretty cool spot

Awesome
