Even as a relatively new climber and having never been to Paris I can vouch for this.

When I was in NZ a few weeks ago we drove back through Castle Hill but had totally run out of time and couldn't stop at all. My heart rose and sank when I saw all those boulders then realised I'd have to let them go.............until next time of course.

I met a couple of young backpackers from Sweden who had spent 4 days mucking around at Castle Hill and said they still could have spent more time.
