More good stuff Avery.
When was this??
I thought this was primarily a bouldering area.
How much roped climbing is there?
I could learn more.

It is A major Bouldering area, Ryan, but there are plenty of rope routes too.

Hey MMCC, All the photos that I've posted here were taken between 1990 and 1994. As for the lack of names, I only got the OK to post these pics as long as everyone involved remains anonymous!
If you climbed at Castle Hill around the above period then chances are we probably do look familiar. Although we were enthusiastic climbers there was no way we were at the "cutting edge".
Thanks for the feedback. I've still got a few to post yet!!

Cool photos - why don't you post these on the forums over on the climber.co.nz? Those forums are in desperate need of new and interesting people and posts.
Cheers

Bump for Castle and Flock Hill. Love that place, but haven't had a chance to climb there in over 15 years. Great place to figure out your footwork.

Nice locale, pretty rock, but boy do those routes look short.

Thanks for the photos MMCC, I certainly recognize the location in the lower pic.
"Respectable Failure", sounds like a fitting epitaph to my time as a climber.

Nice to hear from you Levy.
After your countless routes on El Cap almost anything would appear on the small size. There are, however, many stunning rope routes and the bouldering possibilities are almost endless.
Personally speaking, the primary attraction is the stunningly beautiful area the rocks reside in.
Hey Levy, come on over to NZ and "test the water"!

That's an extremely interesting photo, Adam.
While I agree it's a hard area to climb in, I think the rewards are multifarious.
I haven't climbed there for 20 years!
