Heard that heaps of people have been climbing at Flock hill without prior permission and that the owner had been turning a blind eye to it, until people started driving up there. As a helicopter pilot( I think) he flew up there and counted about 40 people about, none of whom had been curteous enough ( s'alright if I go and do a spot oclimbing up there guvner) to ask. Sounds like no one will be going there for a bit. you might be able to find out a bit more online.
Where can you buy this hallowed book then?
Got it from the New Zealand Alpine Club if anyoneīs interrested:http://alpineclub.org.nz/news/2008/the-comprehensive-castle-hill-climbing-guide

This bit is unrelated I'm just interested: The ACC (accident and compensation scheme) provides payouts on a no fault basis for injuries that mean people can't work etc. This is all funded by the tax payer. So you can't take people/companies to court for nothing on a regular basis and establish a blame culture. Is this system unique to NZ or are there others?
