    Wharepapa (rock climbing!!!)

    Hola!!

    It has been far too long since i organised a rock trip - too much snow and ice stuff about!

    Anyway, things are starting to warm up, the ice is melting and its time to get back on the rock!
    So next weekend we shall be headed up to Wharepapa! its quite a long drive - about a hour north of taupo, but its worth it! over 1000 sport climbs within half an hours drive, routes ranging from grade 10 to 28ish.

    so sign up one and all!! (and bring your cars and tents along....)

    next weekend - the one it is scheduled for on the calender!
    so we would be leaving on the 28th (friday night), back on the 30th (sunday night)

    yet to figure out how much it costs, depends on cars we take, how many people are keen etc...
    more will be figured out when people sign up!

    Ok, Petrol is probably going to cost about $40 each, camping is another $2 per night (so $44 all up)
    it might be slightly less/more than this depending on how many people sign up...

    weather is looking ok on the saturday, kinda crap on the sunday so if it gets any worse may call it off/do something else silly instead - will decide on thursday night or friday morning.

    possible options if weather turns crap are mangatepopo, titahi bay, multi day canyoning trip, double brown, crazy crazy tramp, double brown....
