Ocean Boulevard Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

description

Ocean Boulevard is a much less trafficked cliff, but is still of high enough quality to warrant climbing on for a bit of a change.

access issues

A 4WD is highly recommended to access these cliffs. Smaller cars may be able to reach the campsite at whitewater wall, however they will probably bottom out on approach. Track conditions are subject to change, particularly after heavy rains.

Statewide ethics

• The operation and use of drones by park visitors on reserved land including national parks is not permitted

• Peregrine Falcons nest from July - December each year. It’s important that climbers don’t climb near active nests during this period. Known sites (non exhaustive) are: Sand River (Far East, The Panopticon), Bare Rock (R of the Boneyard, L of Bisso of Orange), Rocky Cape, Pubic Wall/Duck Reach, Hillwood, Gunners Quoin, Lowdina.

• Please note that Tasmania has notoriously patchy phone reception for particular service providers. Telstra is the most reliable. An emergency Personal Locator Beacon or similar is recommended kit when climbing in remote locations.

9 Ballet Variation

L/H variant of Ballet. This variation finishes up a final hand crack section, about 6 metres left of Ballet final head-wall - Variations of Ballet exist to climb this wonderful line which is characterised by a thin crack that gradually disappears. At an obvious 'undercling' either move right towards blunt arete, or left face climb to gain a jug, or ledge above. All are exciting and well worth your effort. Put on your Ballet shoes and get dancing!

FA: T. Meech & COVID19, 2020

21 Trad 36m
10 Ballet

A fine crack face line on the blank looking wall above the ramp leading down to Lassie's Wall. Traverse right from the ramp near sea level (with low swell/low tide) or abseil from above. Start off sloping ledge a few meters right of Gubernaculum. Despite appearing thin the gear is, for the most part, good.
