Car Share to Oceanias
8 September 2006 - 9:01pm
I am going to the Oceanias via Christchurch on Thurs am (5th October) returning Monday evening (9th October). Planning on hiring a car in Christchurch but just wondering if anyone is going to be doing the same journey and wants to share a car hire? Aiming to climb in Wanaka on the Monday after the Competition.
Cheers

well you gotta make sure the vistors go to the good areas eh...
some classics in the range 19-27
some should really dos ..
rogue erratic 25
ultrasound 26 both on the little big wall
falcon steep 22
the two and a half minute man 25 at the cutting
mental as anything 25
no sweat 27
momentum 27 sunnyside
zoot alors 23/4
lollapalooza 25
moana magic 27
and all the other routes at riverside and toad hall really....
cleansing the stone 21
Hitch or fly 22
Solid pleasure 24
zizagy 19
Lay back and take it 22 all at phoebe creek
Naked on the neve 20
the hotline 22 (trad)
at the diamond and all the routes on the pencil dick wall, even the bolted cracks shhhhhhhh :wink:
there is a small and very steep crag Dunnyside with 2 stunning and hard trad routes 24 and 26 and some projects.... if you like that sort of thing
Whats my mission now 25
Neil diamond loves me 23
free Barry 23
everything but the formalities 22
hopeless romantic 24
all at roadside
most of the routes at the Alcove are worthy 19- 26
moderate routes you cant beat Sharon stone and Rock hudson two newer crags up on rocky hill (can be wet tho)
The crackhouse for err cracks is good and most of the routes up at the hangover and high sides areas are great
if they are dry the multipitch routes farther up valley like fat freddy 25, dux of paradise 20, taniwha 25 etc are really good adventures but may be seeping still?
blah blah there is heaps to do, hope you get some good weather for your visit pm if you want any ideas
and since your in the area Wye creek is really really worth a visit..
cheers

well your probably asking the wrong person Martyn but yeah there are some harder lines the old hard classic is humble 30 and theres another 30 at riverside Te Timatanga, Blue meanie 29, engage 29 .. its a funny thing cause there is a plethora of wicked hard lines but none of us locals is up to them yet, bring your drill and i could point you at some ... :wink:
heh there martyn i don't know of anybody needing a ride down from chch but there will be a few people looking for rides back up as a lot of the people with cars are staying on for another week so if you still have room on the way back you should be able to fill your car and save on the fuel cost :lol: good to hear your going down tho are you competing???
