Spring has officially sprung, and it’s time to pull ourselves out of the winter funk and onto the wall! Join us at Rock Spot Climbing Malden for Pushing Daisies, a high-energy, small-scale bouldering competition designed for the local community.

We’re taking over three prime walls (don't worry, the cave is sitting this one out!) to bring you fresh sets, floral vibes, and some healthy competition. Whether you’re looking to podium or just want to crush some new problems with friends, this is the perfect way to wrap up April.

Beyond the Climbing
When you’re taking a break between burns, head over to our Tie-Dye Table! We’ll have a DIY station set up so you can go home with some fresh, colorful threads to match the spring theme.

Prizes & Categories
We’ve got swag and prizes lined up for the top finishers in our various climbing categories. More details on specific prize packs to be announced on the day of the event!
Beginner = V3 and under
Intermediate = V6 and under
Advanced = V9 and under

Registration & Pricing

Members: - $10
Non-Members: - $20 w/ gear

Come Tie-Dye With Us!

Tie-dye a white cotton shirt to send with or just to wear day to day. We recommend picking up one of our new, white, cotton logo shirts which work really well with the dyes and techniques we’ll be using at these events.

For $5 per shirt you'd like to tie-dye, we will provide the materials and basic instruction. Shirts will not be provided. You can either bring a white, 100% cotton shirt of your choice, or you can purchase one of our new shirts in the shop. Remember, members save 10% off all retail in the shop over $5, including these new shirts!

You do not need to purchase access to the facility if you are just tie-dying a shirt, but if you're interested in climbing after the event finishes and you can purchase a discounted day pass at the desk!

While our staff will provide instruction on basic tie-dye techniques, it’s always best to come in with a plan of what you’d like to make. We will provide rubber bands, the dyes listed below set up at separate stations, along with a space to prep your cotton shirt. Please note that if your technique requires any resources beyond the rubber bands we will provide, you will need to bring whatever supplies you require.

Your shirt must be 100% cotton for maximum adherence to the dye.

Finally, it takes time for dyes to fully adhere to the cotton fibers in your shirt so while we will provide bags for you to take your project home, it will be up to you to find a safe place to allow your shirt to soak. 24 hours should be sufficient, but the longer you allow the shirt to sit with the dye, the better the dyes will stick to the fabric, allowing for a brighter, finished product that will last longer after multiple washes.

We will provide instructions to wash your shirt when you feel it’s ready so you can enjoy it around town or at the crag!

*Let's learn to lead climb! *
Lead climbing uses more advanced climbing and belay techniques. It begins with the ropes disconnected from all anchors. The lead climber is responsible for clipping the rope into anchors set along the wall while the lead belayer gives the rope slack to accommodate the proper anchoring and manages the rope during climber falls or lowering.

The lead climbing lesson takes two, 2 hour sessions. The first session for all participants is Lead Class 101. We recommend a minimum of 6 months climbing experience plus the ability to climb 5.9 very comfortably before signing up for this course.

Participants must have a partner to take this class. Please make sure to register your partner or to bring a partner with you on the day of the class who has already been lead certified at Rock Spot.

The cost of this class covers both Lead Climbing 101 and Lead Climbing 102. This class does not include a day pass or gear rental.

Please contact us to schedule your Lead 102 class.

All climbers must pass a test to lead climb or belay at any of our facilities. This free test can be scheduled after you complete both Lead Climbing 101 and 102.

Spring has officially sprung, and it’s time to pull ourselves out of the winter funk and onto the wall! Join us at Rock Spot Climbing Malden for Pushing Daisies, a high-energy, small-scale bouldering competition designed for the local community.

We’re taking over three prime walls (don't worry, the cave is sitting this one out!) to bring you fresh sets, floral vibes, and some healthy competition. Whether you’re looking to podium or just want to crush some new problems with friends, this is the perfect way to wrap up April.

Beyond the Climbing
When you’re taking a break between burns, head over to our Tie-Dye Table! We’ll have a DIY station set up so you can go home with some fresh, colorful threads to match the spring theme.

Prizes & Categories
We’ve got swag and prizes lined up for the top finishers in our various climbing categories. More details on specific prize packs to be announced on the day of the event!
Beginner = V3 and under
Intermediate = V6 and under
Advanced = V9 and under

Registration & Pricing

Members: - $10
Non-Members: - $20 w/ gear

Come Tie-Dye With Us!

Tie-dye a white cotton shirt to send with or just to wear day to day. We recommend picking up one of our new, white, cotton logo shirts which work really well with the dyes and techniques we’ll be using at these events.

For $5 per shirt you'd like to tie-dye, we will provide the materials and basic instruction. Shirts will not be provided. You can either bring a white, 100% cotton shirt of your choice, or you can purchase one of our new shirts in the shop. Remember, members save 10% off all retail in the shop over $5, including these new shirts!

You do not need to purchase access to the facility if you are just tie-dying a shirt, but if you're interested in climbing after the event finishes and you can purchase a discounted day pass at the desk!

While our staff will provide instruction on basic tie-dye techniques, it’s always best to come in with a plan of what you’d like to make. We will provide rubber bands, the dyes listed below set up at separate stations, along with a space to prep your cotton shirt. Please note that if your technique requires any resources beyond the rubber bands we will provide, you will need to bring whatever supplies you require.

Your shirt must be 100% cotton for maximum adherence to the dye.

Finally, it takes time for dyes to fully adhere to the cotton fibers in your shirt so while we will provide bags for you to take your project home, it will be up to you to find a safe place to allow your shirt to soak. 24 hours should be sufficient, but the longer you allow the shirt to sit with the dye, the better the dyes will stick to the fabric, allowing for a brighter, finished product that will last longer after multiple washes.

We will provide instructions to wash your shirt when you feel it’s ready so you can enjoy it around town or at the crag!

*Let's learn to lead climb! *
Lead climbing uses more advanced climbing and belay techniques. It begins with the ropes disconnected from all anchors. The lead climber is responsible for clipping the rope into anchors set along the wall while the lead belayer gives the rope slack to accommodate the proper anchoring and manages the rope during climber falls or lowering.

The lead climbing lesson takes two, 2 hour sessions. The first session for all participants is Lead Class 101. We recommend a minimum of 6 months climbing experience plus the ability to climb 5.9 very comfortably before signing up for this course.

Participants must have a partner to take this class. Please make sure to register your partner or to bring a partner with you on the day of the class who has already been lead certified at Rock Spot.

The cost of this class covers both Lead Climbing 101 and Lead Climbing 102. This class does not include a day pass or gear rental.

Please contact us to schedule your Lead 102 class.

All climbers must pass a test to lead climb or belay at any of our facilities. This free test can be scheduled after you complete both Lead Climbing 101 and 102.

This program is supported by a grantfrom the American ParkinsonDisease Association Rhode Island Chapter!

Join us for a tour and familiarize yourself with outdoor bouldering opportunities and best practices. We'll show you how to get to some of the more popular boulders, climb a few of the classic problems, and answer your questions about the area. Climbing history, ethics, best practices and safety considerations will all be covered.

2025 Schedule:
May 24: Lincoln Woods (Lincoln, RI)
July 6: Hammond Pond (Newton, MA)
September 21: Lincoln Woods (Lincoln, RI)
November 9: Lincoln Woods (Lincoln, RI)

Participants will meet in the designated parking area by 9:45am before the tour starts at 10am. The walking tour will wrap up sometime between 11am and noon, followed by a brief climbing session afterwards. Climbing ends at 1pm.

No outdoor climbing experience needed, only climbing shoes (rental shoes included by request). Crash pads will be provided for use during the tour.

This outing is primarily intended as an informational session. It is designed for climbers who are looking for an introduction to bouldering outdoors, or for boulderers who are looking to expand their knowledge of the area. If you want to spend the entire time climbing on boulders specifically selected for you, work on specific climbing techniques, or find options that better fit your schedule, consider booking a Private Bouldering Session.
If you would like to return to boulder on your own in the future, consider renting a crash pad from one of the Rock Spot locations (https://rockspotclimbing.com/crashpad/).
