Everyone Sends.

Boulder Bash is back — bigger, better, and more inclusive than ever. Boulder Bash is Northern Rocks’ biggest community event of the year. This is a celebration of climbing in all its forms — effort, progression, and showing up for yourself and others. Whether it’s your first competition or your fiftieth, your send counts.

Participants can choose between two climbing rounds during the day. Round 1 runs from 9 am to 11 am, and Round 2 goes from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. After the rounds, the finals are estimated to start around 2:15 pm, giving climbers the chance to watch and cheer on the top performers in each category.

The competition features multiple climbing categories — Rookie, Challenger, and Crusher — and is inclusive of Female, Male, and Non-binary climbers, so you can pick the challenge level that suits you best.
