Here is a short video of Kinetik Climbing athlete Cesar Valencia bouldering in the beautiful country of New Zealand. Also, he logged some field testing of our Newton 4.0 on the trip, ensuring it was 100% ready for launch. Next, the KiloJoule was packed up and given the long flight test, with no spillage in the luggage.
New Zealand bouldering is technical climbing. Being both powerful and precise with its smooth limestone rock. Although there are many areas in New Zealand to climb, two of the most popular boulder fields are Castle Hill and Flock hill located on the south island. In fact, Cesar only had a few days to climb in these areas and was completely taken back by their beauty and unique style. The slick rock forces you to have intense focus, precise foot work and incredible patience. Every boulder in Castle Hill and Flock Hill is a journey into the unknown. Make sure to come here prepared to battle for every ascent, no matter what the grade. One thing is for sure, New Zealand Bouldering is some of the most majestic we’ve ever seen.
