Anyone keen for climbing?

Ive been out to the hill most weekends since november but have not met many locals yet. Im keen to meet some people who head out regularly as im bored climbing by myself. Im originally from the uk and boulder about v7-v8 (on a good day).

I have to work weekends every now and then but im keen for most weekends especially as winter gets going.

Im based in Timaru and can come via chch if anyone needs a lift.

cheers mike

Do you climb, or just boulder? :wink:
Only asking, because there is a lot of good climbing alot closer to Timaru than Castle Hill.

yes i do climb as well but prefere bouldering. have harness but no rope at the moment. Im aware or hanging rock and mt horrible etc. but need a partner! Im going to the alpine club this week, i think, to hopefully meet people who do stuff locally.

I am more keen on finding people who want to try stuff at the hill though as i love it there. probably heading up again this weekend if anyone keen.

Last time i was here met loads of people at the hill so thought it would be a good place to start. Was great initially but only johnny foreigners like me and theve all gone now.
