Getting There
We plan to carpool from the usual Logan Park meeting spot (on Union St, Dunedin in front of the Teachers College) at 8:30am on Saturday, 15th February. This will give us time to arrange carpooling, load gear and then grab a quick coffee along the way in Palmerston or Hampden before meeting up with Andy at the Hulk Hogan boulders at 11am.The actual boulder site is on Island Cliff-Duntroon Road just down and around the corner from Elephant Rocks (see thecrag photo for details).
What to Expect
Easy access bouldering area.Known for hard boulder problems but also easy options to try.
No real prior climbing experience needed to give it a go but you will need to be responsible for your own safety decision making and knowing your limits.
A relaxed social day or an opportunity to crush hard...you choose!
