Castle Hill
On the Saturday i went to the Roxx, which was pretty good but all the bouldering didn't really have proper problems so i had to just do eliminates. we ended up going to Castle Hill that evening as well, so i got to climb before ot got dark. Then the next day (Sunday) I climbed there as well. We got a bit shut down by the style of climbing, its completely different to anything i'd been on before, some of the footholds were that polished it would squeak loudly when you placed your foot on it. The handholds were also very polished, some of the problems were very highball, in the guide there were signs saying 'potential fatal fall', and this was for all grades. I climbed alot of the easy problems and just experienced it but didn't send anything hard. Amazing place but two sessions was not enough to get used to it enough to send the hard stuff, plus i just wanted climb on loads of the boulders. I'll post all the pictures probably when i get back. I'm in Tauranga at the moment, and i will probably be staying here for 2 nights. There is bouldering here, and i think there is some possible DWS. anyway gtg.
