Karen & Jeremy
Roca’s Owners
We met in 2004 through rock climbing. Our love for the sport as well as being in the outdoors has shaped our relationship and family throughout the years. We have shared our passion for climbing with friends and family by taking them on trips to Zion, Devil’s Tower, Yosemite, The Red, Joshua Tree, and our favorite, the Black Hills, in South Dakota.
We are excited to bring a state-of-the-art facility to Rochester, MN to share these experiences with the Rochester community...to share the love of climbing.
We hope that you enjoy your experience at Roca!
indoor climbing, yoga, & fitness
We offer outstanding climbing, yoga, and fitness opportunities while being centered on building community.

To open climbing to as many people and groups as possible by providing personal attention and accessibility in a fun, vibrant, and professional environment.
Social Responsibility
These values also live under the umbrella of Social Responsibility. We believe in the life-changing, confidence-building power of climbing!
