Outdoor Bouldering Matts and Groups

[konan]

Hi all,

New to the group / forum. I am new to bouldering and would like to purchase some used matts (or where can I get new ones?) Also, looking for some people interested in grouping up to go bouldering. I saw a few people bouldering out in Echo Valley and I would like to give it a go.

Thanks in advance!
Konan

CityROCK, Bloc 11, Vertigo, maybe Drifters. Vertigo and I think CityROCK rent pads too. Have fun

Ok cool. Thanks for the info

Hi Konan

You'll certainly find plenty of boulderers at the annual Rocklands Highline Festival over the long Easter weekend 2-5 April. As well as highliners, slackliners, sports climbers, unicyclists, jugglers and people doing acro yoga, poi, stilt walking and other similar activities.

The festival is hosted at De Pakhuys campsite, which is within walking distance to thousands of boulder problems.

Hi Ryan,

Has the highline festival been confirmed for the Easter weekend? We are staying in Wupatel for the long weekend and will definitely come through and check it out

I can't open the links that you have thrown off what can be the problem?
