Vertical World Youth Climbing Center
gym
America’s first climbing gym evolved from rocks glued to plywood into a focused training ground for young climbers.
Description






First opened on Seattle’s Elliott Avenue in 1987, the expanded facility offers programs to learn how to rock climb for both youth and adults. Training extends beyond the wall through performance and educational programs in fitness and yoga. The center also accommodates youth camps, birthday gatherings, and group sessions for school, church, or corporate teams.
