Any chance if y’all getting a moon board? I’m moving to Duluth soon, and would buy a membership just to use one.

We went to Team Try It Night tonight. It was my son and daughter's first time climbing and everyone there was so encouraging and positive! I forget all of their names but Emmy was very informative. The man that runs club on Mondays was great, too! I wish I got the name of the man in the stocking cap because he is the one that kept encouraging my daughter to climb higher and seemed to say exactly what she needed to hear. Thank you so much everyone! You were all amazing.

this is the first time I have ever left a bad review. this means something to me if you haven't been to the Duluth Climbing and Fitness check it out. 16 dollar day passes and a friendly group of truly experienced climbers who will introduce you to what climbing is really about. it's nothing like a soul bleached corporate washout of a gym such as VE. watch out for decrepid concrete and dust as well while your climbing. Ive been a climber for 8 years. I've bouldered and climbed all over Minnesota, Yosemite, Spain, Wyoming, Washington, Chugatch Range Alaska , New Zealand and many others places. Ive conducted myself in various risky situations to the best of my ability and returned unscathed with my party. More importantly to this review, the context of the facility, I've been as annual pass holding member at this business for at least 3-4 years. I've been tested out as a lead climber and top rope climber many times by both the facility in Duluth and St. Paul in accordance to their policy. After a long summer of running my own business handling many clients, I was extremely excited to go start working out for some trips south. Then encountered the most pathetic display of customer service. Manager punched me in with little conversation, pretty typical. After no pleasantries or introductions the employee, Brook Faye, tested my partner and I out for top rope certification as is VEs policy's. Despite showing a complete understanding and fluency in using my equipment and communicating with my partner; the employee ended up not passing me because I didn't not explain to "her standard " and answer to a broad question. I displayed and checked my equipment to her standard but she failed me for not vocally encompassing all her desired safety checks. I understand having policy . It's their job to keep people safe. I also believe that a trained professional should have contextual understanding of experience based on time in the sport and the business to see when a climber knows what they're doing and displays complete proficiency at their craft. this place use to be ran by climbers. now it's run by sterile expired college climber desk jockeys. piss off Vertical Endeavor what a waste of space. used to be packed on a Friday night, it was pretty scarce tonight. I'm angry, disappointed and sad that this place is like this now. call me if you want to ask questions 2184911202

I think it was most disappointing that we had to pay the full amount for not all of the auto belays being available due to repair. I also felt that the worker was rude and not helpful to us when we arrived. Too expensive in my opinion for not being able to use the entire area.

This place is a money pit, that doesn't update equipment but will gladly accept your money. I'm sure it's fine for tourists, but if you consider yourself part of the climbing community I would avoid this place. To top rope they require a "test" where they condescendingly judge you not knowing how to use their outdated garbage equipment. They do not assist or help at all and just fail you. The bouldering is an extremely short wall with rubber chips as the landing spot (no padding).Do not go here if you enjoy climbing or would like to learn this fun sport. The staff is incredibly rude and will make you feel worthless.

Terrible service - waited 40 minutes before we even got our rental gear. Then while climbing, the worker just sat in the back office and didn’t come out once. We needed some tape and had to walk into the back to get assistance at all after waiting for her for a while. I wouldn’t go again and would recommend going elsewhere.

Seems like a great place for family fun indoors. Definitely an odd feeling climbing inside an arcade. Bouldering area is small. Bouldering routes seemed sandbaggy and will likely be a challenging climb for true V0-V2 climbers.
