Mayor Gary Christenson and members of the Malden Teen Enrichment Center officially welcomed Rock Spot Climbing to Malden Center! Rock Spot is celebrating 25 years as a company this September and is welcoming its newest bouldering gym to Malden at 195 Exchange Street. Bouldering is a form of climbing that is low to the ground and has large soft mats to fall onto. Climbing has grown tremendously in recent years, especially with its addition to the Tokyo Summer Olympic games where American Nathaniel Coleman claimed silver for the United States.

Whether you are new to the sport or a seasoned climber, Rock Spot gyms are warm, inviting and a place to reach new heights. Team members come from every New England neighborhood, and as a community they focus on personal growth, equitable access and outdoor stewardship to support everyone’s climbing journey.
