Description

There is a track around the deserted resort.

Some 40+ good problems have been established at either the LH end or RH end. The high tide can dump or remove large quantities of sand and so the problem heights and difficulty can vary immensely.

The RH end when looking at the ocean has a bunch of slabs, a few steepish problems and a few classic high balls. Standouts include the high dome back from the beach a bit, and the few problems on and around the prominent big block.

The LH end has some classic high slabs, as well as some steep sit starts. Standouts include the walls of high slabs and the featured arête sit start on the back of the slightly less high wall of slabs.

Access issues

You can drive out to Radical Bay but the road isn't well maintained.

Approach

Access via road from the Fort Walk or via Horseshoe Bay to Radical Bay Track.

Ethic inherited from Townsville

Marking the rock at the start of the climbs used to be the norm, this is now frowned upon.
