Rock Spot Climbing: Malden, MA 195 Exchange Street, Malden, MA 02148

"Lovely bouldering only gym! Although it’s small, they change the problems relatively frequently so it doesn’t get boring quickly. Keep it up! Open to 11PM which is great. And the mat is softer than CRG. A lot of easier grades so good for beginners and don’t feel like theyre designed for tall people only. I would say the grades are overall softer than the other gyms around Boston (CRGs), which isn’t necessarily a bad thing especially if you want an ego boost. Some critiques: this gym doesn’t provide free chalk compared to other climbing gyms in Boston. The membership price is comparable but rentals are extra ($20/mo per person), most avid climbers probably have their own gears but rentals should be included for people with memberships."

"Went there yesterday did not like it at all and the price they charge is ridiculously high 36 dollars and the place is sooo small the staff was very nice but they shouldn't charge that much to climb robbery don't go here waist of money and your hands hurt after so boring never again. Waist of money"

"Out of all the Rock Spot Climbing locations in MA, this is by far my least favorite one. It is the tiniest and most boring one of all. Only bouldering. Went on a Saturday morning and it was quiet and honestly depressing. I felt bad for the staff. Plenty of street parking and restaurants around and commute on T is easy as Malden T station is literally across the street."

"Love this gym! Friendly environment, knowledgeable staff, and reasonable setting. Tina and Jose have been a wealth of knowledge as I've been learning to climb. Honestly they turned a passing curiosity into a 3x weekly routine with a membership :)"

"My kids and I, first time climbers, had a great time here. The staff were helpful and friendly and it was a great winter activity to do with my kids. We'll definitely be back."
