My First Trip to FLOCK HILL - New Zealand's BEST Bouldering!!!

[@RealWorldClimbing]

Beautiful! I kept waiting for the Warg Riders to pop out between those boulders! :D

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

😂 it definitely feels like you are living inside the beautiful lord of the rings land scapes when you're out here. Truly breath taking!!!

If you're looking for a great holiday destination to boulder... This could be it 😃

[@Goofygreyhoundgoober]

Good weekend! Did me a favour cutting most of the footage of my flail on 100 times slab 😂😂

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

You... The viewers... the only one who had to sit through 30 mins of you on a V3 slab was me 😂 😂 😂

[@tomwaldin7647]

Good cleaning shots!

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

yeah man, great shots for educating anyone on coming to the area 😃

[@juliogallo7694]

Fantastic climbing. Quick question, what camera are you using? Love the picture quality. Cheers!

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Thanks Julio, I appreciate the comment 🤙 All of this footage was shot on my Canon EOS R - Mirrorless with the majority being show on a 17-40mm wide angle. Any stationary shots were in 4k to get that crisp image and most moving shots I up the frame rate and take it down to 1080p :-)

Nice, was waiting for that one :D

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

One more from our 2 days at Quantum next 👍 ... Man, flock made me want to move to Christchurch... Seriously awesome bouldering!!!

[@samchu5335]

lovely vid chris ! is there a guidebook to flock hill? am looking to go next year, thanks !

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Hi Sam, thanks very much. I used the castle hill basin website. It is the best form of guide for the area as you make an account and then get to log your climbs. There are a few boulders up on "the crag" website too but the castle hill basin website has a GPS map of the boulders so you always know where everything is :-)

[@samchu5335]

@@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy thanks for your help chris ! cheers

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

No worries Sam, hit me up if you have any more questions :-)

Bro!!! This is us next weekend 😎

[@hamishfalconer9402]

Rookie question but why spray water on the holds?

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

I wondered that a few years ago when I saw some castle hill crushers doing it, because limestone gets polished by chalk and rubber if you wash the holds after your session it extends the life of the rock. The difference between flock and castle hill is incredible for this, flock was far less polished even on the classics because the climbers take such good care of it 😃

[@eprohoda]

how you doing?. so good -✨

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Great dude, thanks for watching :-) stick around for more from castle hill in the next week or so 🤙
