Hi all,

I'm flying in to chirstchurch on the 8th of march, I had a mountaineering course planned with a friend but he pulled out. Still keen on doing a course or just getting a guide and learning more. I've done some mountaineering before adn some ice climbing but it was about 8 months ago. I'm a multi-pitch rockclimbing guide in oz and i'm keen to jump on some nz rock as well especially in the Darrans. I'm onsighting about 20 trad, may bring my rack with me but may not depends on wieght and the responses i get i guess. So let me know if you want to hire aguide and learn some stuff possibly bag a peak or 2 or if you just want to climb in the mountains or on rock. Whatever i just want to climb.

Couldn't convince you to come down to the Darrans, NZ's best alpine rock area could I?

Sorry mate, there's too many crevasses and avalanches there for my liking Tongue out.  I will stick to Cloudy Peak, NZ's second best sub-alpine rock climbing spot.

Hi Peter,

I'm just waiting to hear back from a friend but arthurs pass sounds good. As you know i'll be in chch tomorrow and i'm keen to climb as much as poss. So how long were you thinking of climbing for and when would we go? is there a hut there? Where are you based? Lots of questions! let me know your thoughts.

 

Cheers

Hiya Nathan, thanks for the awesome experience climbing Temple buttress with me in sub zero snowy conditions. It's a shame you couldn't do more here in NZ but the weather's been constant gales since you left.  Hope to do more with you another year mate, I'll practice those knots you taught me. Embarassed
