Cool - cheers for that Stu.

BTW, did you know that we're meeting El Spark in llanberis this evening - he's been muttering about right wall - fancy a sweepstake on what excuse he'll use not to do it?

Wonder if he'll get the first pint in....... :roll:

keep me posted on that one - he was mumbling about Positron too before he left HK but my moneys on him getting up nothing above E3 (he's a complete and utter coward at the best of times - and thats on bolted climbs................)

In the end, is CH worth travelling half-way round the world to visit? Looks like the most gorgeous venue on the planet but have heard from more then one person that it looks better than it climbs. Opinions from those who have actually visited?

personally i wouldnt go half way round the world just to boulder there..
however if you combine it with cragging at paynes,twin stream, charleston + some partying in queenstown, surfing/snowboarding and general exploring round NZ then i reckon well worthwhile. in fact i've been twice now...

Andy Crome on probably my favourite CH problem Ocean V6

 Totally mad prob, starting up blank scoop on dinks then requiring a strange rolling exit onto a delicate slab, pure joy.

Where's that problem then - looks excellent!

At the top of one of the gullies on the road facing edge of Quantum field. It's in the south island guide.

Ah yes - I recognise it now - didn't try it though.

Like the flowers in the grass - were you there in spring? I can imagine it's a very pretty place (even more stunning!) when all the spring meadow flowers are out.

Yes, was there in southern spring Oct-Dec, snowy peak and daisy filled meadows :D .
