Two weeks in New Zealand and Castle Hill!

Well here is another short update.......

We have arrived in New Zealand and after a long drive to the Northern Tip of the South Island (where we found very wet conditions) and back to Christchurch we settled in to some amazing bouldering at Castle Hill. We spent two weeks falling off everything we could find at Castle Hill and have relocated to the fantastic hospitality of the Sinclair Household. Where too much food and wine coupled with daily trips to the near by cliffs have become the routine.

Enjoy the pics....

Australia Wrap up slide show!!

Hey everybody......sorry for the huge lag time between posts......we have arrived in New Zealand and after some searching have found some dry rock at Castle Hill!! We are bouldering here everyday the weather allows and finding out several things:

1st. Every muscle in your body can hurt at the same time!!

2nd. Some times pushing is way more effective than pulling!

3rd. Slab hurts to fall off of!!!!

I will try to upload some short videos of some problems if we get the chance and the weather holds.....but for now enjoy a spattering of pics from Australia.

cheers,
