Why not join some like-minded, mature mountaineers, for an evenings entertainment, recounting the golden age of New Zealand climbing, especially brought to you by our guest speaker and past president of the New Zealand Alpine Club, Geoff Gabites. There will be time afterwards for questions and informal social conversation, all accompanied by delightful tea and biscuits.

“The Golden Age of Climbing” An illustrated, themed talk: “The coalescing of new climbing tools, changes to import licensing and retailing in NZ, plus lots of unclimbed routes, led to a 1970s/80s surge in new climbs”.
