Covid Compliant (2).jpg

We are doing our part to get you on the wall while preventing the spread of COVID-19. We are checking the boxes to be Covid Compliant to keep our community healthy and our doors open. We are going above and beyond to follow county and state reopening guidelines. While the gym may look a little different, we are committed to providing the same VH vibes and service.

We are checking the boxes and getting it done, so you can keep climbing and get on with the fun!

We have deeply missed our VH Climbers and we can’t wait to have you back AGAIN! It’s been strange times with TWO temporary closures. We hope that reopening VH restores normalcy and joy to your daily routines! We see the impact our climbers have experienced from the gym closures, and understand the meaningful role our community plays in the well-being and happiness of our members. We also recognize that each climber has their own level of risk tolerance and their own feelings on risk management. Like you, we are figuring out the beta of reopening during a pandemic, and we are grateful for your patience and support of our staff and community as we work through this together.

TEMPORARY RE-RECLOSURE

Updated: 11/10/20

Due to the rising Covid cases in our county, San Diego has receded into the Purple Tier of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. In accordance with state mandate, Vertical Hold gyms will remain open for climbing through Friday, November 13th, and begin temporary closure on Saturday, November 14th.

Throughout the pandemic, Vertical Hold has followed the guidelines of our state and local health officials to protect our patrons and staff. Continuing to put your safety first, Vertical Hold will reopen in accordance with our officials' timeline and regulations.

While we stand united with our community in the effort to slow the spread of this virus, we close our doors for a third time with heavy hearts. We understand the impact of re-closure on our members, and we will get through this crux together. Thank you VH Climbers for your resilience, strength, and unwavering support.
