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!

I had been a member since April 2021 but had to temporarily suspend my membership due to upcoming unavailability for the next couple of months. Unfortunately, I missed the deadline for canceling my membership for January, by coming in on the second and was charged $81. Despite being a loyal customer for nearly three years, the staff refused to reverse the charge. I recommend investing a little more for better facilities and an overall improved experience at Mesa Rim. Fortunately, there are nearby Mesa Rim locations near Vertical Hold San Marcos and OldTown, where I plan to take my business once I can resume climbing. It's unfortunate that it had to end this way, but on the positive side, it motivated me to seek a better overall experience. Save yourself the headache and pass on vertical hold.

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

Amazing gym. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Justin handles everything needed quickly and efficiently. He's 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.

Had a great time climbing for the first time in 10+ years. The belay is so much easier! Great instruction from Nick! We even lasted longer than expected!

The smallest of the three Solid Rock Gym locations but the staff seems to be the friendliest. You'll be engaged as you arrive and let them know if you need some advice, they'll 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 lady's night promo is super tight. Would highly recommend to anyone. I'd give it two thumbs up and a high five.
