Affinity Initiative Aotearoa PGM BOULDER BASH - Waterfall Crag

Boulder Bash is Affinity's outdoor bouldering session, designed to take community members from the gym wall to real rock in a supported, beginner-friendly environment. Whether you’ve never touched outdoor rock before or you’re looking to build confidence outside, this is your session. Bouldering is climbing without ropes — low to the ground, movement-focused, and endlessly social. It’s one of the most accessible entry points into outdoor climbing, and we’ve built this day around making sure everyone feels capable and supported from the first problem to the last. What to expect: 🪨 Introduction to outdoor rock and how it differs from indoor climbing 🧤 Reading routes and problem-solving on real rock 🤝 Supportive community environment with experienced guides 😤 A few falls, a few sends, and a lot of laughs Gear rental is not available for this session. The koha is for fuel and crash pad providence. Who is this for? Beginner-friendly and open to all Affinity members regardless of experience. If you can climb at the gym, you’re ready for this. If you’ve never climbed before, we’ll get you started. What’s included: ✅ Guided outdoor bouldering session ✅ Instruction and movement coaching ✅ Crashpad and matting instructions provided ✅ Community and good vibes What to bring: • Comfortable, flexible clothing • Personal climbing shoes (and chalk) • Water and snacks • Sunscreen and a hat • A small daypack This event is open to registered Affinity members only.
