We want your trip reports, photos, opinion pieces, new routing news, gear and technique articles, and humorous and philosophical musings.

And yes, we want something from everyone, whether you're on the south face of Hicks or it's your first time up Ruapehu. Actually, my first time up Ruapehu was my scariest climb...

Climbs don't necessarily have to be recent as we're keen to build a comprehensive archive for all New Zealand regions.

We also invite you to use the forum for conditions updates, to find climbing partners, have a rant, and ask questions of the climbing community.

	Glenn Pennycook Glenn co-founded Mountainz with Alexander Scherbakov in 2004. A product of National Women's Hospital in the mid-70s, Glenn spent his early climbing career on Mt Ruapehu, then heard a rumour there were bigger things down south. His interests are winter climbing, helicopter access and mountains close to huts. Glenn's major achievements were mostly first winter ascents in the Southern Alps. Fortunately for Glenn, mountains are not made of overhanging plastic holds.
	Francesca Eldridge Is notable for tackling New Zealand's mountains in a manner that is reverse to the norm. Francesca started with solo missions in the Darran Mountains, winter climbing at Aoraki Mt Cook and technical climbing on the West Coast neves. Apparently no-one told her she was supposed to build up to such climbing. Francesca became Mountainz editor supremo in February 2008.
	Alexander Scherbakov Alexander co-founded Mountainz with Glenn in 2004. He has lived in New Zealand since 1999 and been climbing since the late '70s. Alexander did most of his climbing in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Crimea and his achievements include Peak 4810, Asan, Slesova, Bodhona, Peak Lenina, Kommunizma, Ushba, Elbrus, and Shelda. He received a 'Master of Sport of Russia' in 1996.
