Bouldering

Bouldering (low level without ropes over mats) is available during public sessions or for members the climbing wall is available for bouldering at any time after they have completed unmanned declaration when there is no other booking in place between 6am and 9pm. keys must be signed out from YMCA reception during there opening times shown on link below which also shows unmanned availability(note this schedule is viewed easier in a skinny window ie. on a mobile phone or make the window narrower on your desktop laptop so one day fills the whole width) https://ynewplymouth.gymmasteronline.com/portal/account/classcalendar/53

All Members must scan in using their key tag at reception when signing out keys and climbing door when climbing, and ensure door is locked and lights turned off when you leave. failure to do so could compromise us being able to provide this service in the future.

Please note, there is no instructor present in unmanned sessions. Please check link to schedule above to check availability
