Their facilities cater to individuals of all abilities, fostering a sense of community and adventure. Founded in 1994, Planet Granite operates climbing gyms that offer a range of climbing and fitness activities. The company is headquartered in Sunnyvale, US.

In November 2017, Earth Treks, LLC, a portfolio company of Tengram Capital Partners, acquired Planet Granite, although financial terms were not disclosed.

Planet Granite specializes in climbing gyms that provide a comprehensive suite of services for fitness and climbing enthusiasts. Their offerings include indoor climbing walls, fitness classes, and training programs designed to cater to individuals of varying skill levels, from beginners to advanced climbers.

The gyms focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere and delivering expert coaching and support to help members achieve their fitness goals. The company's revenue model is based on membership subscriptions and day pass sales, providing clients access to a variety of climbing and fitness activities. The pricing structure allows for flexibility, catering to different user needs, and is typically billed on a monthly or annual basis, ensuring stable cash flow.

Looking ahead, Planet Granite plans to expand its presence by opening new locations in key urban markets across the US. The company is focusing on enhancing its offerings by introducing innovative climbing programs and fitness classes by the end of 2024. The funding acquired during the acquisition will be utilized to support these growth initiatives, ensuring the company can maintain its commitment to quality and community engagement as it scales its operations.
