Another Melbournite here. Got hooked on my South America trip after a number of high altitude glacial climbs. Now getting into rock climbing and planning on doing a course in NZ or Argentina end of this year, followed by some slightly more technical routes.

Anyone heading to NZ end of this year?

I'm from the UK but recently moved to Victoria, kinda near Lake Eildon. I've got my winter climbing kit and AT skis with me. Fair bit of climbing experience in Scottish winter and Chamonix (summer and winter). I'm heading to NZ for a few weeks in July for some climbing and touring, but if anyone is looking for winter climbing/touring partners in Australia (got a few ideas lined up...) or for summer alpine in NZ then please give me a shout!
