Hospital Flat

Climbing.......... my newest endevour ..........

My most recent job was gardening for a crazy old man. (seriously, he was most definately off his rocker; he talked to himself all the time and took far to much pleasure out of using power tools to break things). I worked with an Ice Climber who'd just returned from an expedition in Canada. cool bloke. So, for the last couple of days ive been doing a bit of climbing with him after work.
It was so nice to do some actual sport (rock) climbing rather than just gym walls. We went to the main climbing area of Wanaka, Hospital Flat (about 15mins from town). Pretty awesome stuff, we've done three climbs in total - "Big drop little drop", "Do i have too" and most recently "the Tombstone". Im not very good at the mo, but did manage too haul myself up all three, which im quite happy about. You get the coolest views from the top; being evening climbs we get to the peak to see the sun setting over the mountains of Wanaka.

Tomorow we leave. AT LAST! Im soo bored of Wanaka now, ive done it to death!
We're heading to Milford - couple of full on rivers down there including the Holyford and Auther Rivers... and ......er .......um, maybe a little....ahem .... sea kayaking , but we'll keep that on the low-down.
