Local knowledge
Duncan is a regular at resistance climbing and their fantastic new bouldering gym near the stadium. Duncan got into bouldering at varsity in the UK and enjoyed doing a bit of trad climbing in Shetland Islands when he lived there.
Reignite Physio regularly sees lots of climbers and has sponsored and worked with some of NZ top boulderers and climbers. It's always great to see pictures of their trips and hear plans of overseas and big missions planned for summer breaks.
