15 August 2007 - 1:53pm
So from the last postings we have discovered that there still is some life in New Zealands climbing scene. So, where havde we been climbing then and what has been going down? Whats been "the" thing to do this winter for you? Hanging around local crags? Going north/south? Heading for the ice and mountains? Gave climbing up and through yourself down the ice slopes of ski fields?
So come out and devoulge your secrets.

Things were a bit slow after the last bit of Banks Peninsula development late autumn/early winter, leading up to my NI trip.
On the NI, got to hit the Quarry, Reperoa, Whanganui and Kawakawa Bays, good times!
As the weather plays along, I have started back doing some crag maintenance around Britten/Mt Pleasant, and some climbing and development near Little River. I think the BP will be seeing some attention again as the weather continues to improve.

Been playing in the mountains in Ecuador, then went to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky, and am flying back to Aotearoa in the morning. Has anybody been going down to the Cave lately? Was thinking about a trip, but not if it's sopping from non-stop easterlies.

Except today :cry:
It's been flock hill for me, I try to get up there atleast once a week. Have had trouble being a first year uni student means that I have been hung over on a lot of my trips out there. Haven't got out as much or climbed as well as I have wanted but still have thrown down on occasions. My next 'project' will be to get my pre-reqs for the Bachelor of Castle Hill, haven't decided what I'll major in yet though.
I did manage to get up to Paynes for a couple of those long weekends at the start of the year but they were weather affected.
one serving of vertical reality is guaranteed to get you high
