As we arrived at Charleston, we walked up to the sea walls. The swell was cranking and the blowhole was going off. After a quick safety briefing by Jamie and Paula, we were taken to the bottom of the climbing wall. Here we learnt about Cam's and Wire's. How they were placed, what was safe and how to recover jammed gear. After placing pieces of gear and getting our heads around placing natural pro we walked back to the top and were given a quick talk on Anchors. Here we got a example of how an anchor would be constructed. Here we were given time to have a chance at building our own anchors with the use of natural pro. After placing and organising anchors it was time to pack up and leave Charleston, bound for Greymouth.

We arrived at Punikaiki at around 9:30am keen on a good days worth of climbing. Emptied the cars and got straight into it. The crew quickly started climbing, making the most of the weather and the area we were presented with. After a solid morning, climbing around 6 climbs, we were all pretty pumped and decided to call it a day.
