We’re so excited to announce the acquisition of a new climbing gym in Thornton. Previously branded ROCK'n & JAM'n, this new location expands The Spot’s footprint in the Front Range to five facilities, and will now be called The Spot Thornton.

Founded in 2002, The Spot pioneered the first commercial dedicated bouldering facility in the US. Since then, The Spot has offered one of the highest concentrations of terrain and programming for members, some of the biggest climbing events in the country, and the first pay-what-you-can membership model in the Front Range. With this acquisition, The Spot will be the first chain of climbing gyms to serve Boulder, Denver, Golden, Louisville, and Thornton.

The Thornton gym adds another 9,500 square feet of climbing terrain, including an impressive 40-foot lead wall, to The Spot network.

“I had the honor of climbing at this gym when it first made its debut back in the day as a ground-breaking facility on the Front Range and have always been impressed and inspired by the crew at R&J over these decades,” said Dan Howley, founder and CEO of The Spot. “As with all of our facilities, The Spot is deeply committed to hosting a welcoming, all-inclusive environment that provides our clients with the highest quality routesetting, customer service, community, and programs.”

When asked about the acquisition, Adrian Parker of ROCK'n & JAM'n said, “We are very proud to announce that The Spot has acquired our Thornton location and added our beautiful walls to The Spot family. With their resources and experience, we can sleep well knowing our wonderful members will not only be taken care of, they will now have access to so much more than we could possibly offer..”

The Spot Thornton is currently open for climbing, immediately expanding the available terrain for members. The gym will be temporarily closed from August 20-27 for facility improvements, and then will reopen to the public on Monday, August 28. A grand re-opening celebration will be held on Saturday, October 7.
