Paparoa Climbs – Bullock Creek

Welcome to climbing in the Paparoa, including the ‘world famous’ Bullock Creek
and the Punakaiki River Valley. This isn’t your typical sport climbing
destination, but it has something for everyone.

The South Island’s West Coast limestone has been something of a late-bloomer
in terms of crag development. Paradise Crag, developed in the summer of
2014/2015 by Neil Silverwood and Neil Warrington, is perhaps the best and most
user-friendly crag in the valley.

Any climber travelling the impossibly beautiful stretch of coast between
Punakaiki and Charleston on a fine day can’t help but notice the huge vertical
bands of grey and yellow limestone that line the valleys stretching up into
Paparoa National Park. Over 100 climbs, many of them multi-pitch, await you.
