About

What is this?

Castlehillbasin.co.nz is a community website for sharing information and psyche on boulders and routes in the Castle Hill Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand.

This site is used by local climbers to record ascents and document climbs. We aim to promote sustainable practises to minimise the impacts of climbing and to encourage all climbers to become Kaitiaki of the Basin.
