Flock Hill Access

Flock Hill is the biggest and arguably the best field in the basin. Because of this we must take extra special care to ensure this resource is not taken away from us. Flock hill is NOT public land and climbing there is a privilege, not a right. The land is owned by Mark Fraundorfer and Lloyd Ferguson who have kindly allowed climbers to use Flock Hill as long as we follow a few simple rules. These include:

1. Use the proper access to the land. This means parking at the gate about 1 km down the road from the cave stream car park. Jumping the fence at cave stream IS NOT ALLOWED.


2. Prior permission must be gained before accessing the land. This is done by filling out the details of your visit and signing the provided form acknowledging that you understand the rules on which access is granted.


3. Treat the land with respect. This includes no littering, smoking, and bolting.

Once you agree to the conditions outlined in the form, it needs to be sent to Mark at mrf@wave.co.nz.

Lastly, please note that Flock Hill will be closed from November 1 to December 25 due to lambing - no acceptions.

A beautiful day at Flock Hill.
