Over summer, we will be going to Payne's Ford in Golden Bay for climbing.  This will be just after Christmas and for a week (I will confirm the exact dates).  You don't have to have climbed before, but it will make the trip a lot more enjoyable.  Paynes Ford is a reserve with many many bolted routes.  Being in Golden Bay, it is also close to beaches and The Mussel Inn.

 Let me know if you are interested in coming.
