Cass Trip

Yes, and this year again, the one and only trip to be on: 13 / 14 March!

We will head out to magic Castle Hill, have a climb at Flock Hill and a swim at Cave Stream for refreshment. Our lodge is nothing else than Cass (University) research station. Accommodation a la classic alpine style, set within the Southern Alps, with bunk beds and a massive fireplace. The trip is the opportunity for people to meet each other, get to know some awesome climbing environment of Christchurch and have a first go at some boulders (which happen to be also some of the most amazing ones on the planet!).

And no, you don't need any previous experience. If you want to play around, have a go some of the Castle Hill classics or just hang out for fun, its entirely up to you!

The trip costs you only 22$ (which is charged by the University for usage of the field station). Food and beer will be provided by the club, for more drinks- BYO. Or if you're too picky about what you eat, BYO of that too. Transport there and back will be organized by car pooling, so if you have car, tell us! Cass is only capable of hosting 42 people. So if you want to be in, sign up fast!

More information will be posted when we're a bit more organised...

Paynes Ford

If you want to go climb and hang out with style, you gonna go to to Paynes Ford! Located, idyllically nearby Takaka in Golden Bay, the area provides some of the best limestone climbing on the South Island. Hang Dog Climber's Campground is already a classic in itself, but a swim in the nearby waterholes is must for anyone passing through, too! The crags are numerous, providing the whole range from beginners to advanced climbing, and (best of all) are only 10 min away from the camp. Camping is cheap, about 4$ a night per person , and for the more sophisticated climber, is also a limited number of spaces in the bunk house available (12$ per night).

This trip is more a casual one, so do not expect too much structure....

Uni Games

No idea if climbing is included this year (wasn't in 2009).

Other projects

Potential trips: Elephant Rocks, Hanging Rock, Darrans...anything else you can think of?
We are always open for ideas. So, if you got some special mission/event in mind, tell us and we will put it up on the list! Drop someone an email on the contact page
