Notice to Climbers seeking access to Flock Hill Station

There has recently been confusion and negative publicity with regard to access for climbers wishing to boulder on Flock Hill.

Because of large numbers of people trespassing on the property, as well as issues of safety, we have decided that as of now, climbers wishing to access Flock Hill will need to contact us at mrf@wave.co.nz in advance of their visit. A safety notice will be issued and the attached form should be returned and a copy of it carried as proof of permission.

Sometime around March of next year we will establish a visitor centre at Flock Hill Lodge where climbers can obtain permission, receive the safety notice and sign in and out in the visitor log. This will simplify matters and allow for spontaneous visits rather than having to seek permission well in advance.

Finally we are asking that permanent climbing bolts are not drilled into the rocks and that a total fire and smoking ban is observed. No dogs or vehicles are allowed for obvious reasons.
