Every Friday · From opening
Friday reset
Fresh problems on a different wall every week, straight from the setting team.
What's on at Boulder Shack, Southampton: There is usually something happening.
Socials, coached sessions, clubs, competitions and a fresh wall every Friday. Some of it is booked, most of it you can just turn up to.
Coming up
The next socials and coached sessions.
Straight from the booking system, so these are the real dates and the real number of spaces. Turn up on your own and leave with people to climb with.

Every week
The things that are always on.
No date to remember. These run to the same pattern week in, week out.
Tuesdays and Thursdays · 10:00
Older and Boulder
A relaxed morning session for over 50s, with tea and a sit down afterwards. £9.50.
Also every week
Classes, clubs and the very small.
Each of these has its own timetable, on its own page.
Competitions
Friendlier than they sound.
Categories from first timers to the sharp end, everybody climbs the same problems, and the whole gym stays for the finals.
Every year we also host a round of the BMC Youth Climbing Series, the British Mountaineering Council’s competition for young climbers.
