Mark Pugh-Williams is a Christchurch-based rock climber who emerged as one of New Zealand’s early standouts in youth competition climbing, developing his skill through the local Geckos Climbing Club.
He went on to become a central figure in steep sport climbing, repeating many of the testpiece routes at the local caves. Most notably, he established Hydroplaning[1], which stood as New Zealand's first 8c+ (34) in the sequence he climbed it. Pugh-Williams remains active in the local climbing community as the Head Route Setter at Uprising Bouldering Gym in Christchurch.
