The Port Hills Suck? If the Jane Fonda Workout Wall sucks then I really wasted quite a few days of my life...

Beautiful Valley is probably still closed, access to Hanging Rock is no longer as described through the farm but up the river.

Flock Hill closed till Dec 25th.

Mt Somers is great and covered best in Rock deluxe.

The new NZAC Darrans Guide will be out in a few weeks - it is bigger than the Mt Cook Guide

If you are climbing in Wanaka you will need the local guidebook.
