Summary

Mostly bouldering. Large variety of difficulties from V0 through V11 with something for every climbers strengths and weaknesses. Hundreds of un-charted lines and boulders

Description

Large numbers of boulders along shore in Bowen. Mostly located along "Horseshoe Bay Road" with very easy access and parking.

The new guidebook, Townsville Climbing 2020 Edition, covers Bowen and is available at Hot Rock Adventure Centre and Climbing Anchors.

The old 2012 guide by Steve Baskerville and 2005 guide by Luke Hyam are also available.

Access issues

No access issues really, except don't walk through any of the resorts to shortcut areas, this will only annoy the owners and could cause problems in the future.

Ethic

Like most other areas, clean off your chalk marks, don't chip holds, if you need to chip it means you're just not strong enough so go train, and you're ruining it for others. Always go to the toilets in the carparks, don't do it anywhere else, nowhere here is it acceptable for a bush poo!
