ABOUT US

Bouldering is a style of climbing done on shorter walls, without ropes or harnesses, with thick padded flooring for protection. Instead of focusing on height, bouldering emphasizes creative movement, problem-solving, and strength as you work through routes called problems. Each climb is like a puzzle, with holds of different shapes and sizes guiding your way to the top. It’s one of the most accessible forms of climbing — no special gear is required beyond climbing shoes — and it’s a fun, social way to challenge yourself, get fit, and be part of a supportive community.

The Rock Boxx is Salem’s indoor bouldering gym, built for climbing, fitness, and community. With 5,400 square feet of professionally crafted climbing walls, we welcome climbers of all experience levels, starting at age five. Our goal is to create an inviting space where people can challenge themselves, connect with others, and share the joy of climbing. From classes and youth programs that help kids build confidence, to party rentals and group events that bring friends together, there’s something here for everyone. Alongside the climbing, our workout area and training equipment give you even more ways to stay active and grow.
