- From Bouldering at Mt Cook all the way to Sport Climbing At Milford Sound, New Zealand is just as spectacular when seen through the eyes of a climber.

New Zealand is a place of beauty and wonder, where people go to have an adventure of a lifetime in incredible surroundings. But even though the climbing scene has been established there for a while, for the rest of the world New Zealand is still somewhat of a mystery...Josh and Charlotte try to their best to pick it apart ans show you the best of what the 2 Islands have to offer...

Uncovering The Mystery: Climbing In New Zealand || A World Less Traveled Ep.4
Okay, that side by side footage was mind blowing! Loved this video!!
14:33 "And we're off, like a turd of hurtles" :D
Got me chuckling there.
Hey Josh + Charlotte,
I'm writing to you from my home in Jerusalem, watching your video together with my young children (ages 6, 5, 3).
From me: Love the split shots... so creative!
From Isaac (my 6 yr old): I like this video.
From Jacob (my 5 yr old): I love you.
Shalom! Keep the videos coming... our bucket list grows with each one.
That was a fantastic video - especially the duets! The mirror of the wall and synchronised climbing was just perfect 👌
I'm here for the scenery
Wow! That section on Colossus was some of the most aesthetically pleasing imagery I've ever seen.
As a dual citizen kiwi living in the us, this really makes me wanna go to NZ and climb everything I can get my weak fingers and sticky feet on 😂 -Ty
Little Babylon is my favourite place in the world. Such good climbing and amazingly beautiful scenery
Flock Hill made my eyes pop out of my head. Also, as someone who writes topos as a hobby, I can't believe there's no guidebook! That would be so much fun to make!
Please do make a guidebook for us :) I have been going there for a few years now and still get lost lol. The castle hill basin website has the problems on there and a map but a guidebook is so much better.
@@anubisiris2270 Hm, I couldn't seem to find the photos on the Castle Hill website, just a satellite map. But that might be because I'm on my phone? Personally I make topos for a website, Mobeta in Nova Scotia www.cnsmobeta.ca/ Pretty simple but I could help with the lines and numbering in illustrator.
Best climbing cinematography of 2020? Got my vote!
2021 for me
got a mention in the Christchurch newspaper when they printed an article about the first bouldering competition at Castle Hill, Arthur's Pass. I won Most Determined Boulder. that was back in 1990 I think. Great times, New Zealand such a special place, yeah nice to see this, takes me back, did a lot of climbing there, Flock Hill across the valley was only just being explored then, a desolate place really.
What an adventure! Cool! One thing that really stood out was this wasn't a 4K/cinema camera/high production dollar film...just great compositions, storytelling, and quality content. Bravo y'all!
as a New Zealander this was so cool to watch only been climbing at castle hill tho aha
I used to go there to take acid trips when I was younget and would constantly be running away from boulderers, they must have thought I was insane. Did you see me? Hahaha
That seems like a place you can spend your whole life exploring tbh...
Is this a new season? Exciting!!! :) I like your videos a lot, really inspiring! And thos boulders are some serious highballs ( for me).
Too good guys. Without real challenges in our lives 🤔we maybe never be able to overcome the real obstacles we face in real life. 💪💪💪
New Zealand looks awesome
A wonderful video. The combination of the passion for climbing and combining with beautiful landscapes and trip experience makes it very nice to watch, Greeting Sandra and Jan climbing couple 2 Small adventurers.
This was great, thanks for sharing your journey! ^_^ The mirror climbing was definitely great!
Mt Cook is traditionally known as Aoraki
Such a great video. Thank you for sharing.
Guys... U are absolutely awesome !! Just dig your travels, climbing and of course the overall vibe of the both o' u's...
So , Here's to wishing you a year filled with travels, adventures, love, friends and each other ...
Goodluck on your travels

U need to get jimmy webb on that cave roof u guys slept under at 14:25
Beautiful country we have here. Great little film. The correct name is Aoraki/Mount Cook.
Such amazing content! I love following your adventures!!!
Also I really enjoyed your video, your footage is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
Cant believe you missed Takaka and Paynes ford. best sport climbing in NZ!
simply beautiful, thank you!
great ..rock on
Loved this! Cant wait to see Tasmania!!
Beautiful, Ilike climbing
Wonderful video ... well done..
Wow this is so stunning!
Yeah NZ Rocks! (Pun intended!)
Really great
Great fun.
Such great talent and beautiful footage!! How do we get down now?😉
Wonderfullllllllllllllll 👍
Excellent
Beautiful produced video, imagery really showed a snapshot of the various weather conditions that are to be expected when climbing in the Southern Alps of Aotearoa (NZ).
Alpine climbing in NZ is imo, having climbed in both, way more serious than in the European Alps because it is a maritime climate far more prone to rapid weather changes, more extensively glaciated (Aoraki region), and more remote. If you decide to venture into the higher mountains/ bigger glaciers, do a technical mountaineering course with Alpine Guides Ltd (Mt Cook).
I want to think that the 'tik' at 3:12 of 'Interstellar Overdrive' is a pun to the Pink Floyd song at around 2:20 (although I know it's not haha)
The best place
Enjoy my beautiful country
Do you ever get like, stuck on top of a boulder that you just climbed? I have nightmares about that all the time ha ha ha. (I've never climbed anything in my life.)
wich is the 4:30 song?
720p c'mon? That's a joke! Besides that a good vid!
damn, everything in this video is a sloper I can't even
A-wa-some
@EpicTV what is the song that starts at 4:30???
Why is this in 720p?! We need 4K.
I'm learning guitar, does that count?
Skip to 10:00 to see some actual roped climbing
720p? Please post better quality...it's 2021 and I know this footage was all captured in at least 1080p.
no sandflies in milfordsound?
I went there and it was fine
@@samwoolley7 i was there too, they eat me 😭 but aniway it is beautiful! flockhill i was falling in love withe it!
If you are on the top of a high boulder... How do you get down?😅😅😅
I mean there are no ladders, right?
Do you climb down the way you got up?
Hi does anyone know the music playing at 05:00 shazam wont pick it up
I was going to ask the same question.
Does anyone know the song??
The artist is BeFun. Track is 'Coming in Out'. :)
@@mtkombikombi I'm looking for the Song before this one... The one that is playing at 4:50
Look at all the mud fossils.
Is there a harder climbing couple in the world? Both casually climbed a 14.b/8c
Sean bailey and miho nonaka are both pretty good. 9b+ and 8c+ respectively
720?
nice
Anyone know the song at 11min?
How on earth did you get into NZ?
Pre COVID 🤗
Who shoots this ? What cameras? Anyone know ?
NZ is a small island…
ok, the video was fantastic, but gosh, the music is terrible guys :DDD
i....d.....saaaayyyy....YOU climbing people are looking for what is called a "basic stone clave", in music, 4 those epic canyon [ping communicatiom]
No criticism aimed at the producers because I don't think they are the ones who did it... but tagging the rocks with the names of the climbs is something I find pretty distasteful. That's not good climber ethics imo. We should try to keep our footprint on the rock to the absolute minimum: bolts and anchors, that's it.
MAORI LAND
We really need to address the colonial nature of the climbing industry. What hidden place in the world will white climbers and the outdoor industry exploit and profit off of next?
Get real bra
In what way is people travelling and spending money outside of their countries problematic to you? Tourism isn't colonialism, in fact it's a leading industry in many poorer countries. Nothing is being ruined or exploited. Not to mention that New Zealand is a mostly-white, western nation(not exactly a "hidden place" either lmao, just not known for climbing). Now, if you want to criticize New Zealanders for taking the land and profiting off of it from indigenous peoples, that's quite a reasonable conversation. But that isn't the fault of climbers travelling, nor is travel further hurting indigenous peoples. Is it your opinion that it's only acceptable to climb and travel as a white person to historically white countries?
@@JohnSmith-uk7gy I'm Maori, you raised valid points, apart from agriculture tourism the next money earner...
@@JohnSmith-uk7gy Please note, I'm talking about companies. You pose a straw man argument by trying to make it seem I'm saying that individuals are the problem, when I so clearly call out the industry and their employees (mostly white climbers). When the outdoor industry attempts to "Uncover The Mystery Climbing In New Zealand" and only feature white climbers from the US and Europe, that's an issue and worth questioning.
Companies like Epic TV, North Face, and Red Bull do it time and time again. They expose remote areas of the world so the white man can get on top of a mountain for their company. Then they'll show the remote area on video to hundred of thousands of people on the internet so consumers get inspired and buy their gear. Then companies, and people like you, try to greenwash their exploitive and exposing behaviors by saying "we spent our money here and that's good for them. Look how broke they are! We did a humanitarian thing." Throwing money at people to validate your tourism and impact is not above questioning. And if I know climbing dirt bags, they will do whatever they can to travel cheaply anyhow.
Are these videos inspiring? Of course. Is tourism a good thing for most places? Absolutely! It sure beats the hell out of slimy mining or oil and gas companies exploiting beautiful areas and destroying them. But it is not above questioning and discussing the colonial nature of companies consistently exposing remote corners of the world for people to visit. That is why I simplly say, "we need to discuss this"... I'm sorry if that's a hard conversation for you.
+10 Irony points for your name being John Smith.
13:43 I love that. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
