Go Vertical Indoor Rock Gym

Take a guy from Norwalk CT, an accountant who runs, rows and climbs. Add a guy from Washington DC, an electrical engineer and a salesman who skates, plays handball and has been a hiker and climber for over 20 years. Distill the vision: make a living, contribute something to society, have fun and provide fun. This deceptively simple recipe and 18 months of hard work gave Stamford and the surrounding communities from New York City up to New Haven, CT a much-needed shot in the arm, known as Go Vertical that opened in 1994. Six years later in February 2000, Go Vertical opened its second climbing gym in center city Philadelphia, 1/4 mile from the Ben Franklin Bridge.
