In Their Words: “I could not be more excited! After leaving California 15 years ago to start The Gravity Vault in New Jersey, where I was born and raised, bringing the brand to California with great franchise partners…in a phenomenal place like Marin County is amazing.”
—Lucas Kovalcik, Owner, Gravity Vault

Brian [Platter, franchisee partner] and I are thrilled to be working with our long-time friend Lucas [Kovalcik] and The Gravity Vault team to create a modern, fully featured, state-of-the-art climbing gym for our vibrant and growing community of climbers in the county.”
