Routes in Pearl Bay

Awesome jug hauling up the stunning overhanging prow leads to a crimpy, 'easy yet somehow desperate', exit. Start low and stay true to the prow. A picturesque must-do classic.

Variant: Use a few higher jugs on the left and take a couple of grades off - still fun.

From the first hold make big moves out under the right arete and up on cool pinches avoids all the huge jugs of the left face.

From the ledge with the yellow survey mark, go right to the little arête and up. (If you're feeling awesome try the full traverse on the wall with its enormous span).

Awesome, funky, but easy bouldering. Mould yourself into the low scoop, then make a series of fun and interesting moves up left of the large Angiphora.

The name says it all. Loads of fun and pretty tough too.

Start low with your hands on the big reverse layaway, then slap up the overhanging arête to finish on Jump and Mantle (the big sandy foot ledge is on).

Start as for pearl, left hand up to the crimp on the arête and push out the mantle on the blank face

An interesting short cute slab (can add a low start).

Commonly used as a decent.

Facing the rock, start at the left hand arête of the big scoop. Use the tree when topping out. "It's Not Cheating" to use the tree, it's the only safe way to top out and exit! Keep the overhang to your left. Minus points if you use the overhang or any hold beneath or above it. Arête and right hand face only.

Up the face to the break before a big lock off to a slope below the eucalypt. Clean the top hold before attempt. Controversially, use the tree to top out.

Start as for 7 then traverse left before climbing up via the big pocket.

a highly unusual problem - it's actually easier if you face away from the rock! Park your bum on the left side of the slopey ledge and reach up for the break. Very Cool, though I'm not sure if the Fonz would agree.

Climb up the wall, then traverse leftwards all the way to the little scoop with the rooflet. Very good.

Start under the little overhang, rounding the arete and traversing via the obvious horizontal line of holds.

Start as for problem #8, but walk the ledge rightwards and finish on the jug on the arête (or higher up if you wish). Stretchy, balancey, and good fun.

Up the crimpy wall right of the arête, traditionally finishing on thejugs. Worthwhile.

Off the ledge go up to the drill hole, then traverse the break rightwards (the historical plaque makes an ideal foothold, and is a great use of tax payers funds), ending on the big jug on the faint arête.

Off the sandy underclings, take on the arête to the jug.

Just right of the arête is a pleasant slab/wall with some very nice crimps, head slightly left. Very good climbing.

A testing piece of slab highball for those willing to tackle it. Solid holds all the way.

Another good crimpy little (or not so little) problem. Either finish at the break, continue up past the obvious feature, or join problem #13.

Start up the centre of the wall and traverse the breaks leftwards to finish on the arête.

Starting to the left of the dirty streak make your way straight up to the broken rock. The broken rock has a bit of movement in it so use caution.

Just to the right of the yellow streak.

Start at the corner crack to the right of problem titled 15. Start with a foot jam and head on up. Can be topped out.

In the middle of the boulder to the left of Three storey Rock, go up the right tending flake, then leave the flake to go left passing two slopey crimpers and top out as for Stick Your Foot In.

As for Black Pearls but when the flake runs out follow the horizontal seam to the right and finish up Three Storey Rock

Up the breaks then the sharp arête. Fun.

Walk past Three Storey Rock and step over a dead tree to find this 10m long traverse on various jugs. Start about 3 m right of the drain pipe that is on top of the boulder and keep moving left until the rock runs out. Rock looks crumbly but all the grey parts are pretty solid.

Behind the dinghies in the jungle. Up gritty, grey rock, BR, BB.

Initialled, further down track. Up past BR on orange rock.

Left of LF is a hard overhanging seam with 2 BRs, as yet unclimbed (1991).

Initialled. R at BR, up past another BRand bulge to tree belay.

Initialled start, L of HIE. Up and dyno to BR with fixed hanger. Mantle, move left then up and right (2 BRs one with fixed hanger) to tree.

Juggy wall (2 BRs).
