Climb Our 33 Foot Rock Wall

Learn the Ropes and Scale New Heights

Come Push Your Limits!

You can climb higher than you think. Try our rock wall at the Salem Kroc Center. We have the wall, staff, equipment, expertise, and encouragement to help you reach your highest potential.

Rock Wall

Take your fitness to new heights. Climbing on our 33' rock wall at the Salem Kroc Center is a fun workout for your whole body. It is also a fun activity for all ages, toddler to seniors. The Kroc rockwall is a safe and approachable way to try out climbing, or to practice the sport.

We have all the safety equipment, as well as friendly and knowledgable staff to coach you up the wall. Toddlers can surprise you as they scamper up the wall. You might surprise yourself when you reach the top with the encouragement of our trained staff.

Everyone must complete and sign our rockwall waiver. Youth ages 17 and under require parent/guardian signature.

Adult Climb and Bouldering: The Kroc also offers challenges for more advanced climbers ages 15+. Youth ages 10-14 may get certified for our Mountaineer Pass to climb during Adult Climb and to boulder. Please see rock wall staff for more information.

The rock wall is open daily to all Kroc members and Day Pass guests. Check open climb hours here.
