New Zealand Bouldering - Flock hill and Castle Hill
Finally getting around to posting a short video I made for Kinetik Climbing a few months ago of my trip to New Zealand. Our crew was out there for a month, but we only climbed for about 4 or 5 days. During those days we climbed mainly at Flock hill with only one or two days at Castle Hill.
Flock hill bouldering and Castle Hill bouldering was some of the most technical yet powerful climbing I've done. Both these areas require amazing foot work and precision. You definitely have to be extremely confident with your foot placements and hand positions. The rock out there is limestone with no real texture. This means southern style slopers with no grit and terrible feet. This makes for very challenging boulders to say the least. New Zealand bouldering is not easy, but its so rewarding topping one of these beautiful lines out.
Even though we battled for every single ascent no matter what the grade was, we still had a spectacular time. This has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen let alone rock climbed. It was a pleasure being out in these grand boulder fields trying to climb perfectly sculpted rocks. I can't wait to go back one day. there is so much to see in the beautiful country of New Zealand.
