Description

Juggy set of overhang cliffs across from the car park. Definitely some bouldering potential. Maybe more...

Can get a bit boggy on the floor after any rain, take something to clean your shoes!

Approach

Use marina car park. Walk south across breakwater drive. A reddish, brittle looking outcrop can be seen above some dense vegetation. A boulder wall is visible at the base of the drain

Grade Route

A fun and easy traverse project. Sit-start on the right hand end of the west-facing drain wall. Use jugs, heel-hooks, tracking/bumping hands and feet to traverse left around 5m. Top out optional.

Joel's fun variant of 'splinter'. Same Sit start at the far right corner, however, stick to the low rail where splinter goes high. Still has jugs akimbo, but footwork becomes interesting as you try not to dab.

Sit start left of of the splinter start. An easy and enjoyable series of jugs with a mantle top out

Sit start right of the roof for 'chapel'. Trend left, Stay low, go under the roof, and follow the cheese grater jugs up to an obvious feature with a sketchy flake (x-d out).

A fun combination of overhang climbing leading into some cool stemming moves.

Pumpy with sharp holds, but not super technical.

Potential to continue right, or link up with 'splinter' or 'half metre high club traverse routes.

Start as for Cathedral but stick to the roof and turn the lip to finish straight up without the break to the right.

Sit start in the manky cave left of splinters top out (just past the shrub). Short roof climb trending right, then a short pumpy section to link up with the Splinter top out (look for an old piton to mark the top out point).

Really fun!

Starting above the rocks, follow the line trending up and left to finish on the spike at the high point of the weakness.
