As of today (25 April 2016), Alistair has closed access to Waitpinga through his property, due to the start of lambing. He expects that it will be at least a month before access is re-opened.
For those keen on walking however, you can still access the cliff from either end along the Heyson trail, though this will take considerably longer.
After many months of work by the CCSA committee, the new website has arrived. It might not look like much on the surface, but a lot has happened in the background, and the new site now supports user registration and member logins. Anyone can now register to receive email updates from the CCSA, as well as unsubscribe themselves if they wish. Registered users and members can now update their own details. Anyone can now join the club online, and members can rejoin when their membership expires. Both registered users and members can see their current membership status (if any).
With the increasing membership base and limited volunteer time the committee decided to implement the changes to make administering of the membership much easier in future. Mailouts will now be much more targeted, resulting in fewer irrelevant mailouts and the burden of work on the Treasurer should reduce considerably.
All in all the system should be a great improvement on the old manual way of doing things.
The new shiny CCSA website

It’s back! In its ninth year, the REEL ROCK Film Tour features a special presentation of the highly-anticipated feature-length film “Valley Uprising.” The greatest untold story of American counter culture is that of the Yosemite Valley rock climbers. For the past fifty years, Yosemite’s massive cliffs have drawn explorers and madmen to leave materialism behind and venture onto the high, lonesome granite.
The larger-than-life characters of Yosemite carved out an “extreme bohemian” lifestyle in the Valley, living on red wine and boiled potatoes, clashing with National Park authorities, and pioneering the boldest climbs on Earth. The torch has been passed down across three generations of climbers; through rivalries, tragedies and triumphs, the art of Yosemite climbing has advanced beyond anyone’s imagination. Valley Uprising is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold tradition: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity — and the laws of the land.
Tickets available in store at Paddy Pallin’s now! Discounts apply for Financial members. See the flyer below for more details.

The slogan competition has closed and the entries have been culled down to just the top 5 as selected by the committee.
We have tried to choose slogans which support all members, regardless of the way they climb or the reason they climb. It was a tough ask and we had to have more than one round of voting to get to our final 5.
Now it is your turn! Please follow the link below and put the 5 slogans in order of preference where the first one is the one you like the most. Voting is open for one week from today till the end of Wednesday 16th July.
