Castle Hill

Between Arthur's Pass and Christchurch is Castle Hill. It is quite the unique area with big limestone boulders. First we walked around before we did some bouldering (rock climbing without rope and no elevation gain).

Pretty big rocks.

Malcolm and Kerstin checking out the location.

super smooth

Seppel tries out the bouldering.

Malcolm looks a bit more professional.

We continued the drive towards Christchurch and stopped at Cave Stream.

At the entrance to the cave.

It got pretty soon dark and cold.

Wicked cave. We haven't done much caving before but it is good fun.

Malcolm having a good time.

Outside again. Amazing cave!

Thanks Malcolm for coming down to the South Island, we had a great time with you.
