COVID Guidelines

COVID Guidelines

Please take a moment to read our COVID-19 policies. Our protocols may be updated from time to time, with or without notice, and based on the latest CDC guidelines and Government regulations.

Masks & Face Coverings

Masks are optional in the Vertical Rock facilities, and at the discretion of the user. If you choose to wear a mask, we highly recommend following the guidelines for masking by the CDC.

Under The Weather?

If you are showing symptoms of COVID 19, please skip coming to the gym and refer to the guidance of the CDC for returning to public activities. Should you test positive for COVID-19, please also take the appropriate precautions set forth by the CDC.

COVID 19 Exposure

Please take a pass on coming to the facilities if you have had a known recent exposure to COVID 19. Please refer to CDC guidelines for the latest protocol on returning to public activities.

Cleaning

We want to assure you we will be cleaning and sanitizing the gym and its surfaces as frequently as possible. We also want to bring to your attention that we, unfortunately, will not be able to sanitize climbing routes and ropes as easily on a daily basis. Please take caution when handling the ropes and handholds and make sure to continue to wash and sanitize your hands before and after you switch out belays or use any of the climbing and fitness equipment.
While we cannot guarantee that we will get everything sterile, at the very least our efforts should help cut down on that notorious foot smell inherent to all climbing gyms.
Hand sanitizer stations are located in and around the VR facilities and are highly recommended in general to help the spread of all types of different pathogens including heliobacteria onto the climbing holds.

Street Shoes & Climbing Shoes

Please refrain from wearing your climbing shoes in the restrooms. Street shoes are also frowned upon on the climbing holds. Please ask the front desk for more clarifications on these protocols.
