I know I'm a bit out of the loop now being in a different island and all but alot of the places there aren't holds is because you can't put them there. I know that's the case with the top of the invert slab and the top of the bulge on the overhang. It's because when they revamped the rec centre they shafted us a bit and took half the t-nuts out ...

Hey hey, sounds like a fierce climbing plan, wish I could be up that way to join you but am off for another try to get to the Gardens, sigh. Anyway, just a heads up I don't think they are letting people stay in the Woolshed anymore unless your a group who has booked ahead with them eariler and are doing other activities etc at Castle Rock. No ...

Hey all, Kate here, been out of the loop for awhile but hope all the club crazyness is still at a high level and no one is slacking off the Double Brown drinking in my absence, anyway, was just wondering what peoples plans are after New Years? I'll be in Takaka probably New Years day or the 2nd depending if I get destroyed paddling around ...

Hey guys,  If any of you studenty types are keen to skive off for the afternoon, I hand my thesis in tomorrow (finally) so will be at my house getting reacquainted with some Double Brown from around 3pm and then will grab a bus into town for the dinner later on.  Drop me a line if your up for it and I'll try and direct you to my ...

Hey Nicolai, Blurbridge is running a student special until the end of Nov of $60 for a student and their car and $55 for any additional students. This doesn't run on Labour weekend but if you were kinda flexible and could leave slightly before you'd save a heap. In terms of transport around South, not sure if they run in the area, but K-bus is ...

hey guys, Yeah I'd be super keen too, been meaning to get down there for awhile, no idea where I'll be there or what I'll be doing but would be keen to tag along if possible (and if I'm not too broke!) Kate :)

Official World Scout Knife? Keyring?! I still don't think it would stop you getting frostbite Craig :)

hey again, good to hear theres more people into climbing joining the club :) The club does have ropes around that are suitable for leading, they're not usually lent out however and are used mainly on trips. There is definatley the possibility of bringing one down to fergs on Wednesday night (thats our usual climbing night too) for you guys to use ...

Hey, Yeah as Nicolai says, Baring Head is probably your best bet for bouldering around Welly, for more directions and an idea of what type of climbing it is try http://www.cactusclimbing.co.nz/powerband/guides/baring.html. Theres a few bolted routes there too but is largely boulders. As the site says, be a bit wary of when you go, purely as if ...
