Northern Rocks Boulder Bash is a fun and relaxed event for all ages and abilities. Bouldering is just like climbing, only with no ropes and you climb down or over the top of the lower walls, we're a brand new state of the art facility. It's super fun and our staff will show you around!
We’re climbing to raise money for the Cancer Society NZ, 50% of all entry fees will be donated.
There will be prizes from our event sponsors Rab Equipment, coffee, fun climbs and an awesome community. Come on down and join the fun!
If you don't want to climb in the social competition, the facility is open until 8 pm so you can come in after the competition event and climb with your friends or family.
Info
Every boulder problem in the gym will have a set number of points. You’ll have 2 hours to climb the boulder problems (climbing routes) and the top ten boulders you complete will count to your final score. You can participate for a go at the finals or just for fun and watch the finals!
Categories
Categories will be decided based on ability. You decide on your category but we reserve the right to bump you up a category if you have sandbagged yourself (you’re better than you say!) this is Honesty based!!
