North Otago Section NZAC P.O North Otago Section NZAC P.O. Box 191 Oamaru ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November 2017 Newsletter Next Meeting: Guest Speaker: Chairman Hugh Wood giving a presentation on “Natural History in Northern Greece”, Murray Judge and John Hamilton will show some photos from their recent trip rock climbing at Frog Buttress, near Brisbane, Australia. When: Wednesday, 29th November 2017 Time: 7.30pm Where: North Otago Search and Rescue HQ, 1 Severn Street, the building immediately behind Abacus House. Last Section Meeting: Clare Kearney entertained us with a talk about a high altitude trek through the Dolpo, a medieval kingdom in the west of Nepal. Climbing News Sam Henehan and Navi climbed the North Rib of Mt Edgar Thompson in the northern Ben Ohau Range. Hugh Wood has been botanizing at Mt Cook Aorangi National Park. Currently the bloom of Mt Cook Lilies ( Ranunculus Llyali) has the best display for many years. Is this pretty plant a Lily or a Buttercup? Murray and Bron Judge, and Steve Carr spent ten days climbing at Paynes Ford and Pohara in Takaka. They spent more time at the seaside crags at Pohara where the rock is more weathered and there are multiple bolted lines just above the road with a handy cafe for lunch. Steve took his new Harley up to Nelson and back. Bron and Murray stopped off at Charleston for a climb and drove through to Wanaka before the rain came in. Murray and John Hamilton have been climbing at Doctor’s Point, putting up 2 new routes: Kingmaker 17 and Kingfisher 16. These 30m climbs are close to the car park, to the right of the pine trees and water fall at right-hand end of crag. Much shoveling of sand and a lot of vegetation clearance was required to clean the climbs. The North Otago Section Christmas Bar-B-Que This BBQ and bouldering event will be held after 5-30pm at Elephant Rocks on Wednesday 6th December (or if it’s raining the following Wednesday 13th December). We will supply a BBQ, just bring your own food – salads, meat, drinks etc. Don’t forget your climbing shoes and chalk bag. Family and friends welcome.

This 2017 edition is available via the internet as a pdf file from the NZAC website: https://alpineclub.org.nz/product/nz-alpine-journal-index/ Aspiring Huts – Colin Todd, Esquilant Bivvy, French Ridge and Aspiring Huts Hut users, please note you can only pay hut fees in advance via the NZAC website for the above huts. When doing so, please ensure you take your emailed receipt with you as proof for the wardens. The Department of Conservation has been getting a lot of people saying they will pay NZAC later, but we tend to only see advance payments online. The likelihood now will be that without a receipt to prove pre-payment, the DoC warden will require payment at the time no matter what they are told. The user would need to prove a double-payment later before they could claim a refund. 2018 NZAC Alpine Calendar The 2018 calendar with all the winning images from the 2017 Photo Competition is now for sale online.

The hut posters do in fact say after Labour weekend it will be at 6.05pm. Unfortunately, we have been understaffed an unable to change to our extended summer hours. We are sorry if this has caused any inconveniences. In the future, we will email when sked timings are changing. We will, however, be starting our 6.05pm radio/weather sked on the 4th of December, can you please pass this onto any party’s you may have going into these huts. Thank you for your understanding.

The camp is an opportunity for climbers to get together to climb mountains, rocks, socialise, explore and enjoy the great outdoors. It is also a great opportunity for young people and families to get out and try trad climbing. There are a number of crags well set up with easy access to the top to build anchors and low grade routes (8-14) with plenty of good pro placements. There are also now plenty of easy bolted routes, as well as the more challenging graded routes, for those wanting to experience alpine rock cragging! Cost: Catered accommodation (NZAC members): $37.50 per night for Adults and $18.75 for under 18. You must reserve your accommodation for the camp as well as completing the registration form. We will assist with carpooling where possible and shared cost of transport for carpooling is expected. Tukino Lodge capacity is 40 people per night so please get your registrations in quick. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REGISTER: https://goo.gl/forms/kAc5FlxnJ0ZHMzPJ3 Oamaru Climbing Wall At the Waitaki Recreation Centre in Orwell Street. Climbing Sessions: Tuesday 8.00- 9.30pm, Thursday 5.00-6.30pm. Come along and try out the new tilting slab climbs. This might be the first adjustable angle wall open to the public in NZ? All welcome. Elcho Hut We inspected the hut on Saturday 18th November. All is well and a “new” door handle was fitted replacing the nail that has been there for the last year or so. The Elcho Stream has moved and now the full flow hits the grass bank in front of the hut. It will be interesting to see what happens to the bank in a big flood. Hopefully no erosion of the bank will occur. Dara and Clare crossing the Huxley River on return from Elcho Hut Overseas News Nick and Dara Shearer hiked in deep new snow to the Palmer Glacier on Mt Hood, Oregon in October. Many people were out ski touring with their dogs. They also climbed Mt Scott 8938 feet (no metrics in the good old US of A) on the edge of Crater Lake. Dara approaching the lofty summit of Mt Scott Dear FMC affiliated clubs, individual supporters and associate members; FMC launched our ‘Outdoor Community’ campaign in 2015 to identify and enhance the diverse array of recreational pursuits that member clubs and individuals are passionate about. The campaign identifies a pursuit annually that, “takes place in the same environment as tramping and shares the ethos of exploration, companionship and appreciation of nature”, and make its development a priority for FMC over a July – June period. FMC is pleased to continue its support for Pack-rafting for 2017/18 by offering up to 15 safety training scholarships of $300. As Pack-rafts are so forgiving to paddle, a beginner can often make it down a grade 2/3 river with little technique. This is encouraging many new Pack-rafters on to rivers which are beyond their actual skill level. Our concern is that people will not have the skill to identify and avoid water hazards, the experience to fully understand the consequences, or the ability to perform a water rescue. The aim of the scholarship is to provide a kick-start to the spread of Pack-rafting water skills and safety awareness among FMC members who wish to take up Pack-rafting, but are not from a whitewater paddling background. FMC has been working with Whitewater NZ and the existing Pack-rafting community to develop safety recommendations and training resources to help our members, and the wider outdoor community, get into Pack-rafting with a more informed and safer learning progression. As part of this collaboration, we've assisted with the formation of the Pack-rafting Association of NZ (PRANZ). These new resources will soon be shared via the PRANZ website, Wilderlife.nz, Backcountry magazine and other channels. We're also assisting the organisation of a Pack-rafting meet up 24/25 March 2018 to encourage the development of community and the sharing of knowledge. We're currently promoting the training scholarship via our online channels as well as the November Backcountry, but with spring upon us, the window of opportunity to apply for scholarships for training this season is relatively short.

  • Submission on Cardrona Alpine Resort Limited and Treble Cone
    5 October 2019 RE: Cardrona/Treble Cone Merger Application. To whom it may concern. On behalf of our business, www.snow.nz we’d like to make a submission supporting the Cardrona/Treble Cone merger application. As a background we first began operating in 1995 as Snow.co.nz, and more recently merged with SnowHQ.com. We operate as independent portal, providing an objective overview of the snow industry of NZ and beyond. We receive no industry funding in any way, nor are we supported by any ski area. Personally, I have worked within the industry marketing in the 1990s, and since then have worked alongside ski areas in a variety of capacities both in NZ and offshore. I have an external perspective on the industry. Market Background: As identified in the application there are various tiers of ski areas within NZ: 1. Large Commercial - NZSki (Coronet, The Remarkables, Mt Hutt), Ruapehu Alpine Lifts (Whakapapa and Turoa), Cardrona, Treble Cone. 2. Small Commercial – Ohau, Porters, Dobson etc 3. Club fields. There are overlaps between markets within these tiers, but each tier tends to cater to a particular niche and we’d suggest that competition is generally within each tier, as opposed to across them. Thus, Cardrona is generally competing with areas in the large commercial tier. Cardrona and Treble Cone as individual entities are at a disadvantage. There are also very defined markets: 1. Locals, primarily Wanaka 2. South Island, primary Christchurch 3. North Island 4. Australia. Each market, aside from the first, already has considerable choice, and broadly, we believe there is likely to be little or no reduction in competition, due to the diversity of these markets.
