Rock climbing and map sport collide

Bouldering is a type of rock climbing on boulders to a safe height without the need for ropes and harnesses. Rogaining is an endurance form of orienteering involving locating electronic checkpoints in cross-country terrain.

Combine the two and you have one extreme new pursuit. Castle Hill is one of the most spectacular boulder fields in the world, and at only 80mins from Christchurch is an ideal location.

Teams of two will run and climb together, choose a friend or we can pair you up with someone on the day. This is an all-abilities event.

See the website for more info and rules. Places are limited, don't miss out!
