Summer Sends Series 2025

Summer Sends Series 2025

Send boulders, win prizes, support ACAT!

The Summer Sends Series is LIVE NOW. This 8 week comp is all about having fun, challenging yourself and your mates, and is for anyone and everyone who loves bouldering.

The competition gives all climbing abilities the opportunity to compete together, win awesome prizes, and do it all for a great cause.

As in previous years, entry is by donation, with all proceeds going to the Aotearoa Climbing Access Trust. The minimum for entry to this comp is only $5!

You can donate directly via the ACAT website, and simply show us your online receipt.
Alternatively, you can make your donation at the front desk at Uprising.

ACAT are the folks out there protecting climbing access for all climbers — negotiating with landowners, educating climbers, cleaning up crags and ensuring access to our climbing areas that will last lifetimes.
The Uprising Summer Sends Series has raised thousands of dollars for ACAT in previous years. Your donations will enable them to continue their critical NZ climbing access and advocacy work.


We have heaps of sweet spot prizes from Tenaya, Aspiring, Cactus, Further Faster and more. Think climbing shoes, memberships, merch etc.

The top 20 Male/Non-binary and Female/Non-binary competitors will be invited back for an IFSC World Cup style Finals event on Saturday 22 March.

This is always a huge night, with top-level bouldering performances, pumping tunes, and a psyched crowd.

Plus to coax you mega crushers out of your home training boards and into the Uprising arena, we are offering CASH PRIZES for podium finishes in each open category at the finals event!
1st = $500 + 6-month Uprising membership
2nd = $250 + 3-month Uprising membership
3rd = $150 + 1-month Uprising membership

Register your climbs on Toplogger from 13 Jan. You can download the app, or use the web portal at toplogger.nu. (Please ensure your username on Toplogger makes you identifiable if you want to be in with the chance to win a prize).


Comp Format

Every boulder set over the next 8 weeks will be added to the comp. Find each week’s new boulders on Toplogger. The last chance to send will be March 16th after which scores will be counted prior to the finals event on March 22nd.

Log your climbs on Toplogger to gain points for every boulder you top. This year you get a 20% bonus for climbing a boulder first go, this is called a Flash Go bonus.

All boulders are left up for the entire duration of the comp. So climbs can be topped and points registered right up until the final day of the competition. The fewer sends a boulder receives the higher the points value!

Get crushing!
