Following on the heels of a Ballard climbing gym’s recent expansion, Vertical World has upgraded its Magnolia location and it opens today! Located mere blocks from its previous location and in a former boat construction warehouse, the larger Magnolia space at 2330 West Commodore Way boasts taller walls, a state-of-the-art circulation system, and a much bigger & brighter space.  Doors open at 4pm today!

If you’re an avid climber or only new to the sport, you’ve got to check out the upgraded Vertical World climbing gym for two reasons. First, climbing is the best sport you can do nine months out of the year when you’re living in Seattle, IMO. The bright climbing walls are a nice contrast to the gray, winter skies. Second, Vertical World is America’s first indoor climbing gym! Plus, it has a “rocking” climbing team. Chalk up and head to this top-rope-focused gym. It might take you to new heights!
