Twenty new problems every Tuesday, if you know which gym to visit
Seven Bays is rotating a fresh reset between its three Halifax gyms each week, ending with a wrap-up comp in Dartmouth on October 31.
If you climb in Halifax, the newest problems in town now run on a timetable. Seven Bays Bouldering is in season 4 of its Progression Session: every Tuesday for six weeks, one of its gyms gets a reset of 20 boulders, and the reset moves from Dartmouth to Gottingen to Bayers Lake and back again.
The first lap is done. Dartmouth went first on September 15 and Gottingen followed on September 22. On September 29 it was Bayers Lake's turn, a full island reset the gym showed off in a reel. The second lap is still ahead of you: Dartmouth on October 6, Gottingen on October 13 and Bayers Lake on October 20.
Each reset spans the yellow to white circuits, which our listing reads as roughly V0 to V5. There is a twist: every problem gets a random number and tape that matches its holds rather than its circuit, so you judge a climb by climbing it, not by its colour band.
The season closes with a wrap-up competition at Dartmouth on October 31. Until then, Tuesday is the day the freshest set of the week goes up.
