Justine and Paul came to Roxx to introduce their grandson to the joys of rock climbing.”I used to be a climber both indoors and outdoors. I used to climb in Golden Bay and the Port Hills, but Castle Rock can’t be climbed any more. It was shattered in the earthquakes.” – Paul tells me quickly before the boys are soon off to join the next preschool rock climbing session. Justine has an hour to wait and spends some of her time talking to me. We both enjoy a spontaneous conversation based on our mutual interest in artistic photography. Meanwhile around us there are several birthdays celebrated as cafe hosts birthday parties on both sides of the stairs.
