I'm guessing that 'rock climbing' doesn't feature in the definitions section of the regulations - so it'd be interesting to find out if bouldering came within the activities proscribed by the act. While I think most climbers would consider bouldering to be 'rock climbing' (used generally), 'climbing' and 'bouldering' are distinct activities. Would be a bit of fun to get busted and try this one out on the judge. I kind of get the feeling that most people wouldn't call bouldering 'rock climbing'.

Maybe certain slabbing wouldn't count as climbing either - see comments in Run Out thread - just walking.
