Access issues
evoke strong emotional responses from climbers and Castle Rock Crag in the
Wharepapa South area is a case in point. |
|
As soon as climbers
discovered the Castle Rock and Froggat Edge crags may go commercial, the
messages of opposition started to arrive. The key issues:
 |
Climbers developed each of
the climbs, donating both time and expensive materials to clean and
bolt the routes. |
|
Climbers have maintained
the crag over many years for the benefit of all. |
|
It's unfair that anyone
would charge a fee to access a climb that had been donated to fellow
climber. This is especially true if the climber who is to be charged
actually donated one of the climbs first place. |
Many are saying that they
won't pay and are boycotting the areas, others have increased their route
development efforts on other crags, which has helped to create better
alternatives. |

New Zealand Footnote: Wharepapa's Castle Rock and Froggat Edge are only two of the crags
in the Wharepapa South area. For a complete list of the other great climbing
locations have a look at the Wharepapa
