Adventurous bouldering in a stunning location. Afternoon low tide and sunny weather are a must if you want dry holds and dry feet.
A handful of problems on bullet hard, pocketed limestone. A day of high octane crushing this is not. You're here for the adventure and the setting. The bouldering is just a delightful bonus.
You're in the national park, so follow all signs and regulations. Check the Parks website before you visit: https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/mornington-peninsula-national-park
Park at the Fingal picnic area just off Cape Schanck Rd. Take the Coastal Walk trail north west towards Gunnamatta beach, then follow the signs to trend left down the stairs to Fingal. From the bottom of the stairs head south (turn left) along the beach. Follow the coast line for 400m to just beyond the first boulders over the pebble beach and you're there.
Do better than the hikers. Leave no traces, yours or other peoples. Pack out any trash you find and keep the place pretty.
Karl Bromelow has been climbing here since 2008, and Evan Campbell since 2019. Working backwards in the sequence, one presumes climbers find the spot in 11 year increments, with probable discoveries in 1997, 1986, 1975, and so on and so forth.
