Let’s make it official, a fistful of classic Castle Rock climbing routes were destroyed by Christchurch’s 22 February earthquake.
[Update 2 April 2011: The best source of information on the state of Port Hills crags is the Facebook page for the Canterbury-Westland section of the NZ Alpine Club https://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=273657&id=682996858&l=8ed42e4c91]

Al Morrison, Director-General, Department of Conservation, speaking at Lincoln University, 7 October 2010.
Here’s a question. What connects Elvis Presley, Roy Rogers, Billie Graham, Sir Howard Morrison and probably you?
They all added to their popularity – well, perhaps not you – with a rendition of the popular hymn, How Great Thou Art. Elvis even won a Grammy Award for it in 1967.
My guess is you remember the first verse about the awesome wonder of the stars and the rolling thunder. Do you remember the second?
