to 22 Feb

Rock On - Waipari Climbing Festival

You can now register for the event here: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLScE9e0TGSM.../viewform...

This relaxed, three-day gathering brings climbers from across Aotearoa together to camp, climb, and celebrate the roots of our sport. It’s all about slowing down, reconnecting with the community, sharing stories, and enjoying good rock in good company.
RockOn 2026 is a return to the grassroots spirit of climbing — less hype, more heart. Spend your days exploring classic Waipari routes, joining casual meet-ups, swapping beta, and soaking up the summer crag vibes. You can expect to find climbing competitions, highlining, yoga and meditation, and even a bonfire event with live band and DJs. In the evenings, unwind with mellow tunes, community potluck moments, and plenty of space to connect with new and familiar faces, including a special access forum held by ACAT with free pizza!

The focus this year is simple: climb, connect, and celebrate the culture that makes Aotearoa climbing special.

RockOn– Waipari Climbing Festival remains a proud “Leave No Trace” event. Let’s enjoy the land, look after it, and leave it just as we found it.

Further details about the events schedule, climbing comps, and other information will be sent out to those who register and/or posted to the events page at: https://www.facebook.com/FriendsofWaipari

Boulder Battle // 2025 series

Boulder Battles // 2025 series is on!

Join to great crowd at BOPSCA on these regular club nights of boulder problems, rope skills, games, pizza and a year-long climbing series.

Our more senior climbers will be setting a range of tough problems and fun & quirky puzzles. Send as many as you can to vie for a podium spot and prizes.

Members: $10 per climber or $20 per family.
Non-members: First time - just $10 as well! Then join or $20 thereafter. (Join! We want more and more great people in our community!)

Sunday Youth Round

The Sunday Youth round will be open only to competitors in the U11, U13, & U15 categories and any parents/caregivers who prefer to climb in the same round as their kids.

U11, U13, & U15 participants can only climb in the Sunday Youth round and will require an adult (who can be climbing) to help keep them safe and record their scores on their behalf.

Adults who aren't parents/caregivers can't climb in the Sunday Youth round.

We will run prizegiving for the U11, U13, & U15 categories at the end of the Sunday Youth round. Caregivers climbing in other categories (Opens, Masters, Veterans) will still qualify for series points, but if you want to make the podium you’ll need to climb in a Saturday round as prizegiving will be held for these categories before the finals at 7pm.

Boulder Battle // 2025 series

Boulder Battles // 2025 series is on!

Join to great crowd at BOPSCA on these regular club nights of boulder problems, rope skills, games, pizza and a year-long climbing series.

Our more senior climbers will be setting a range of tough problems and fun & quirky puzzles. Send as many as you can to vie for a podium spot and prizes.

JJ will be setting rope-skills projects. This is a fun way to learn safety and smarts for your future outdoor rock climbing adventures.

This is a GREAT time to introduce new friends to climbing... bring them along for a super fun, very affordable way to get a taste of this great sport... on these Boulder Battle evenings everyone only needs to pay club fees, and not gym charges (but you will need the safety breifing and to sign a waiver if you are new...)

First Friday of every month - except March... when it is on the 14th.

Members: $10 per climber or $20 per family.
Non-members: First time - just $10 as well! Then join or $20 thereafter. (Join! We want more and more great people in our community!)

Come for the climbing. Stay for the community and the pizza.
