There's loads of little places that you wouldn’t find unless you’re told about or see them in the Rock Deluxe.

Paynes Ford is a must, great sport climbing in a very special part of New Zealand. Castel Hill is magic so don’t miss it!

Then there’s quiet a bit of Tard climbing on the Port Hills. This is above and around Christchurch in the South Island. I’m sure you could climb here for a few weeks and not get board, plenty to do.

As you travel south there’s some little but very classy places like, Hanging Rock and Beautiful Valley. These’s two cliffs have some very nice climbing to be had on limestone. There are grades to suit anyone’s needs form 15 – 30. Do yourself a favor and check this part of NZ out wicked stuff and wicked rock!

Elephant Rocks & Hock Hogan’s Wall have some mad bouldering more then enough for a few days. Again on limestone, with little digit pockets sloppers and sloppy top outs.

Wanaka Has some well established sport climbing on some very interesting rock. Loads of areas and grades.

Milford sound is very adventurous. Big lines and loads more to go. Again just go see the place its unreal even if you don’t climb.

The list can go on and on…

Jarden Boulders in Queenstown
Red Cliffs Canterbury
Mt horrible South Canterbury

Have fun…

Oh and that's only the South Island
