The completely revised and updated NZAC guide to climbing at Mt Eden Quarry by Rick McGregor, Michael Welson and Richard Thomson is now ready and available for free download.

The new guide covers all of the routes at The Quarry, plus a 'best-of' selection of boulder problems – with full colour photo-topos, a route and problem index and all the extra information you need for climbing and access.

Mayan will be giving a talk at The Roxx this Saturday night about life as a full-time climber, and what it's taken to become one of the best sport climbers in New Zealand.

If you're interested in wicked tales of super hard climbing and a selection of stunning photography from around the world, this is an unmissable event.

This crag illustrates the dangers of letting two under-employed local near-pensioners loose with a drill. Until this frenzied burst of choss removal and drilling the only noteworthy route on the crag was Ray's "Out with the Missus" although there were rumours of other developments. The archeological diggings did reveal hints of homo climberus activities but no clay tablets designating the routes were unearthed, so until proved otherwise, this will have to stand as the definitive document. All of the climbs are bolt protected and equipped with double bolt anchors.
