NZAC Darran Mountains Rock

NZAC Darran Mountains Rock

Bryce’s take: Another really nice guide book from the NZAC.

Features

The Darran Mountains contain Fiordland National Park's tallest peaks and are framed by Whakatipa Ka Tuka/Holyford River and Piopiotahi/Milford Sound. This area is spectacularly beautiful with the immense, rugged terrain Fiordland is famous for. Unlike much of Fiordland, much of the Darrans are easily accessible via the Milford Road and this allows climbers to enjoy what is simply the best rock climbing in New Zealand. Whether you seek steep sport routes for an athletic challenge, or longer adventures on clean alpine rock, the Darrans has the best rock and the best scenery in Aotearoa.

This new and revised edition included all the rock climbing readily-accessible from the Milford Road. This includes cragging in the Cleddau Valley, nautical adventures at Copper Point, the massive cliffs of The Airport Wall and Sinbad Gully, as well as alpine multi-pitch climbing on Moir's Mate, Barrier Knob and in the Adelaide Cirque.

The climbing further away from the road and more adventurous than the classic North Buttress of Sabre Peak will be included in a future adventure climbing volume, but this guide already packs in more climbing than there are good weather days in Fiordland, with over 350 routes spread across 35 crags.
