Nodes in Freshwater Beach

Some decent bouldering on the beach and rock platform at the north end.

Much more adventurous climbing at the south end with some bigger sea cliffs. There are some reasonable looking boulders here that have probably been climbed at some point in the past.

Boulder problems near the pool at the northern end of Freshwater Beach.

Boulders on the beach. At high tide there's water around the base of most of the boulders, and sand stays damp for a fair while after. Bring a towel or something to clean your shoes between routes.

Fun little number

start on the bulge and campus to a hard mantle.

Start on the far left of the boulder. Traverse right on slopey crimps not using the break above you. If you use the break it is v4.

Start left side overhang left heel on, up & traverse through jugs, slight jump from middle jug to right jug, add a grade for topping out right using crimps & over slopers , otherwise using seat

Sit start on the two jugs on either side of the feature. Straight up and top out.

Sit start from the two jugs, heel hook to the left and then up to the right arrete and out.

Sit start, hands on the shelf, up the right arrete and out

Sit start with hands on the side-pull/under-cling on the right, feet anywhere but the bottom ledge is out. move to the under-cling in the middle then go straight up the face, easy jugs on the sides are out.

Traverse left to right along the underhang.

Start on the two bigs jugs, go straight up.

Start on the sloper shelf, up on slopes & jug

Start from the beginning of coronaverse, fun little bat hang beta on the lip above the starting holds for 'Salty' . Then continue traversing around the corner using a left heel hook. Traversing the corner of the boulder is the crux, then just continue traversing to the second jug past Holy and top out on 'Slopestyle'

Start same as for coronaverse, bathang beta as you come around the corner. Keep traversing same as for coronaverse extended but instead of topping out keep traversing to the big jug as for floz then top out up and left.

start on Juggy holds on the sides of the feature, feet anywhere except the bottom ledge, up to sloper on left then top out.

~100 meter long wall on the headland above the beach. Rock is pretty soft but there's some good spots. Loads of cracks.

Beware of broken glass/rubbish (maybe consider taking some out with you )

straight forward climb starting Pocket rockets rail then traversing across and up the pillar with cracks. and top out above using easy jugs and foot holds. Watch for spiders, they aint pretty and test all holds.

(Test all holds) Start on rail at bottom ( broken off but improved) and feet on highest ledge, she’s a chossy start. Lunge to the 2 finger pocket and grab the side pull to the left. Pretty gentle Dyno to the rail and top out above using a left heel and nice jugs on the boulder above. Boulder to the left is out. Video on @zekewhitfield Instagram climbing story highlights
