Rock Spot Climbing: Malden, MA

My main bouldering gym is Rock Spot South Boston, but was in the area and had the opportunity to try out their Malden location! I like how it is right in front of the train station - makes getting to very simple. Compared to South Boston, the location is more modern but also smaller - maybe 60% of the total bouldering space, and no top roping. That being said, the quality of the routes are just as I expected and actually found a lot of the problems to offer a lot of unique challenges compared to the South Boston location. And the staff and amenities are just as quality! Overall, even if I stick with South Boston as my main gym, I definitely see myself coming up to Malden every so often when I get bored of the problems.

Phenomenal experience! The climbs were pretty fun with a nice combination of technique and strength. But most importantly, the vibes were immaculate, didn’t feel judged and everyone was so supportive. Went with friends and made a few more with frequents that were both helpful and insightful. Big shout out to Karl, on the far left of the photo, who staffed the gym Thursday night. He was super nice and friendly, really making sure we had everything we needed(right fitting equipment and advice for climbs when we needed it) Would come back in a heart beat! :)

Good place for beginners, could use more V1s and 2s tho. They currently have $18 night owl passes after 9pm so definitely give it a try.

Very disapointed. I had a groupon. No ropes for saftey. They offered me a pass to South Boston. I did not want to schlep into town. Groupon should do a better job of advertising. Nice staff, but not what i expected

Rock Spot Malden really crushed it! Fun routes, clean space, and Bobby was the real MVP who’s always ready to chalk it out with helpful tips.
