Some really nice climbing but personally I really hate it when the action is sped up. It's really lazy editing.

Great location crammed with 1000s of problems of all types. There is a heavy "mantel" theme to the place. Stunning backdrop. Climbed there a few days on our stay in NZ and really enjoyed it. Nice work.

Castle Hill is amazing. I'm not sure the quantity of good climbing there really matches the quantity of rock, but it is definitely one of the coolest places in the world to hang out.

Strictly speaking, Castle Hill basin is all the limestone in the um, basin. If you do end up going, respect the rock and don't wire brush or chalk foot holds etc as the polish in quantum field is already taking its toll on some classics. Take a piece of carpet or beer towel to clean shoes before stepping onto the rock. Some of my fondest climbing memories involve CH. Cheers Derek for the cool vid!!
