Only a 15 minute walk away from the Bivouac Bay campsite is a great crag with a suite of excellent routes. The rock here is water washed and of very good quality, and there’s something for everyone with a variety of grades and styles. The crag faces South and doesn’t get much sun, so it’s great on a warm day in summer, but chilly in winter.
Be wary of how you store your food. The resident raven knows how to open zips, and has a penchant for power bars.

Access is relatively simple. At the small bay just South of Bivouac Bay proper, two meters past the small rocky bridge, cut off the track down a faint trail down the small gully/dry creekbed to a stony beach. Walk Southwest (towards Canoe Bay) along the shoreline for about 5 minutes until a cairn is spotted. Follow this and the orange tape up into a bush track until it leads to a descent gully. Down this and walk right (facing the sea) to the main cliff. It’s very easy to reach the crag by Kayak or boat as well, with good landing locations right next to the crag if the swell is low, which it usually is. From Fortescue Bay, it’s just over an hours walk and very doable as a pleasant day trip.
