Paynes Ford Climbing trip

6th - 9th April it's on!!

Gorgeous limestone bolted routes located up the top of the South Island just before the township Takaka. Once again it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or keen climber.
We'll bring all the necessary gear and chuck up top-ropes and teach people to sport-lead. Shoes and a chalk bag are well worth investing in though!
