Climbing at Ailladie

One evening a friend of the family’s (Emma Glanville) took me out climbing to Ailladie .. this is a stunning little spot right on the sea. I’d climbed there quite a few times back in college days.., and it was really good to be back again. NZ is a younger more active (geologically speaking) country, and as such the rock quality is often not so good…

The highlight was probably climbing (well, seconding) Nut rocker, a nice little HVS up a really nice corner.. I was pretty (very) happy to get to the top of it as I’ve not been climbing much lately. Also managed to get mum and dad down to have a look – which was great (required a tiny bit of climbing..)
