This state-of-the-art facility offers a comprehensive climbing experience for enthusiasts of all skill levels, featuring an impressive array of climbing terrains and amenities designed to challenge and inspire.
An Unparalleled Climbing Experience

The 24ft wide adjustable slab spray wall, adjustable Kilter board and adjustable Tension board adds an additional layer of complexity, providing endless possibilities for creating custom routes.
For those interested in sport climbing, the facility offers 70 belay stations for top rope and lead routes and features a dedicated lead wall with the longest continuous lead route running over 70ft ensuring climbers will find a diverse range of challenges to conquer. The dedicated top rope and lead class area is perfect for honing skills.
Cutting-Edge Facilities and Amenities
“The Lehigh Valley, PA with the opening of The Gravity Vault Whitehall as the 15th location for the brand, at last has a top-level climbing gym to support the avid climbing community in the area. The transformation of space from a former traditional fitness gym and its historical initial use as a movie theater is a great example of how The Gravity Vault is revitalizing and enhancing spaces and communities. As a result, the facility has a huge 27,000 sq ft footprint that has enabled excellent separation of space to accommodate the extensive array of programming GV has to offer. Additionally, this has allowed the Gravity Vault Whitehall team to be able to create extensive community areas where guests can comfortably relax, socialize and spend the whole day climbing with us.” said Mark Davidson, Vice President of Sales and Development for Rock Climbing Franchising, the Gravity Vault’s franchising division.
The Gravity Vault Lehigh is also equipped with a dual lane 10m speed wall that can be set for competitive speed climber training and auto belays for those who are top rope belay certified. The dedicated training area includes the adjustable Kilter and Tension boards, as well as the adjustable slab Spray Wall, Campus Board, and Hangboard Station, ensuring climbers have access to extensive training resources.
In addition to climbing, the gym offers a dedicated fitness and stretching area on the mezzanine level featuring strength training equipment. Families will enjoy the dedicated kids’ party wall. With party/function rooms, locker rooms with showers, and multiple lounge areas equipped with free Wi-Fi, The Gravity Vault ensures a comfortable and enjoyable visit for all.
“The opening of Gravity Vault Lehigh Valley was the result of a long journey, driven by hard work and determination of everyone involved- including our dedicated local team and Gravity Vault corporate organization. Finally seeing our first climbers walk through the doors and the grand opening was truly phenomenal. I’m thrilled to be a part of Lehigh Valley and its vibrant climbing community” said Mahen Shanmugham co-owner of The Gravity Vault Whitehall.
