It's here – http://climber.co.nz that is, The Climber magazine on the internet. Many mojozone members should receive an email explaining how your account here will be transfered to climber.co.nz.

If you didn't receive an email, check your spam folder. On the other hand, it could be because you already had an account on http://alpineclub.org.nz that matched your mojozone.co.nz account email, so a new account wasn't generated.

Last weekend the NZAC’s Club Committee endorsed a Code of Practice for bolting in the Darrans. Coincidentally, the UIAA (the international body representing climbing clubs) has also been thinking about this: 

See Input sought on bolting debate, which notes the important thing is to “help to avoid conflict by prompting climbers to organise and make provision for all styles of climbing rather than leaving it to other agencies to sort out disagreements”.

Planning is under way for the NZ Rock Festival 2012, to be held at Whanganui Bay.

Last summer's festival was a blast, with loads of climbers enjoying the hospitality of the bay locals as well as some great climbing.

Check the NZ Rock Festival website for more info.

Christine Byrch and Pat Deavoll summitted Koh-e-Baba-Tangi (6515m) in the Wakhan Corridor (Afgahnistan) on the 9th August. Five days to the summit with some good steep ice, then 2 days to decend the West Ridge (line of the original 1963 ascent). Theirs is only the second climb of the mountain, done via a new route up the N'NW ridge.
