Summer Series 2026

The Bouldering Comp for Everyone!

The days are longer, the weather’s heating up, and yes… people are barefoot in the supermarket. You know what that means?

The Boulder Co. Summer Series is here!

This social, all-abilities event kicks off the first week of December at all Boulder Co. locations – in Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch.

This series is all about fun, not podiums. Whether you’re just starting out or already crushing, we’ve got boulders and prizes waiting for you.

How it works:

  • Each week, we mark new climbs for you to attempt.

  • Every top is worth 10 points — simple, fair, and grade-agnostic.

  • Challenge yourself and your mates to tick new climbs each week.

The last day to log climbs is in February (date varies by gym). After that, each Boulder Co. will host an epic quarter-final for the top 20 male and female competitors.

From there, the top 6 in each category from each gym will battle it out to become your local Summer Series champions!

Plus, there are spot prizes up for grabs throughout the season.

Sign up today on the Beta Bud app, challenge your mates, and we’ll see you on the wall!
