We also climbed a couple of places around Queenstown. The rock i schist, which is really flaky, and not one of my favorites. But we did find a really cool roof to climb.
Driving north, we stopped a day in Castle Hill. The sun was shining and the place really showed itself from its best side, with green hills and snowy mountains in the background. The bouldering in Castle Hill is special and a little strange at first. And the friction is not the best, as it is polished limestone. But what an awesome place nevertheless.
We are now in Paynes Ford, close to Nelson. The climbing seems good, but its a lot of slopers, which is not really my style. And the weather here is not as stable as in Australia, so we might get more rest days than we want.
