castle hill - bouldering paradise in the south island of new zealand - 5 june 2004 - ??

Finally we arrived to castle hill. It is the goal of our travel in new zealand. And it is really a boulder paradise! The temperatures are quite ok ... it is just a little bit annoying to melt first the snow to have a cup of tea in the morning, but we are getting used to it.

If you don't climb it could get really boring here. large grassfield with mountains on the background. Just the sound of wind in the grass from time to time. We intend to stay a month here if it does not snow too much. Since we are 100 km away from christchurch, we only go all 10 days to get food and check mails ... it sounds like perfect boulder training.

Alfin llegamos a la meta del viaje! Castle Hill, el paraiso de bulder en esta tierra! Las temperaturas estan mas o menos. Lo unico que cuesta es derretir la nieve para preparar un te por la mannana.

Me imagino que para alguien que no escala, este sitio debe de ser muy aburrido. Campos gigantes con montannas en el fondo y ningun solo ruido. A veces se oye el viento a traves de la grama. Vamos a quedarnos como un mes, si no nieva demasiado. Como estamos a 100km de christchurch, vamos cada 10 dias para comprar comida y chequar mails ... suena como el entreno perfecto para hacer bulder.
