A number of granite coastal bouldering area's with amazing seaviews!

Limestone caves on the beach at local surf spot 'The Mine'

The first major cave on the left once you get down onto the beach.

Sit start in the back left of the cave with good heel hook. Blast along left then out into the roof with a good cross and some fun moves, match on the large jug on the lip

Project starting at back right side of cave and finishing in same spot as Handle me

The next large cave immediately after Handle Bar Cave

The next cave immediately after Monkey Bar Cave. It has two distinct hanging pillars that you can climb on and behind.

After the 'Dungeon' cave there is a small point with two small rocks. Go around this and into the end of the beach. There are some big caves here, the first one at the end on the left is Nawu Cave.

Project

5m along from Nawu Cave. Twin cave is big and has plenty of routes to do, however it does get grimy and can be wet from big swell and constant sea spray.

Loads of lines to go up in here.

A range of styles from slab to offwidth to roof on excellent granite next to huge ocean waves

Start in the huge roof-jug in the black streak, move up through the holds in the black streak and out.

Start in the jug at back of cave, make big move out to roof flake, another big move to the start jug of Shortwave and up. Maybe around V4?

Starting RH on rounded lip and LH on jug of Shortwave, head out sideways towards the black part of the rock

Sit-start under the levitating "head" of the boulder and layback your way up.

Really fun and unique off-width crack climb. Low start with hands around the bottom corner and feet where feet often don't go, then flex your way up.

Jump start and mantle past the high and impossibly blank surface. Sit-start variant may go at about V40.

Stand start on the ledge towards the left of the boulder. Up on good small holds with smears.

Start one foot on a poor smear, with an even worse hand hold (palm the vaguely sloping hint of a ledge). Go directly up, avoiding moving into the good holds on Easy Up or Dangerous Currents. Top out passing by two giant but entirely unhelpful jugs.

Stand-start on the good diagonal ledge, up onto good small sloper hold and top out.

Tricky sit-start with hands in the shallow vertical crack, follow the crack up.

80m south of Freak Waves on the same wall. Start both hands on upside down V. Up to large flake, high heel then mantle to lip. Avoid on large swell days.

On boulder towards south of beach just before you reach the big flat opening. Sit-start with one hand on the big low jug, other hand wherever. Hard move off the ground, then easier top out.

Sit start on the prominent right-hand flake in middle of boulder and up.

Or possibly both. Stand start on the blankest section of the boulder, using shallow sidepull crimp and left-hand smear in feature to right. Slap up to sloper top and up.

Excellent flaring crack on the large clearing at the south end of the beach. Stand start in thin finger crack and up into wider jams.

Right hand crimp, set up left toe with left hand and match hands. Use crimps to the top out.

Amazing granite slab littered with boulders and rock with views of the ocean and crashing waves on the cliffs below

The first major overhanging wall after walking down from the top. A number of fun traverses and problems, needs a brush and some chalk after a big swell.

Sit start on jugs at left end of wall, straight up. Good warm up

Sit start as for Freya, traverse right for 3m then up and out through big moves on big jugs

Sit start as for Freya and traverse across right but high on the jugs, same top out as Embassy

Sit start in the middle of the wall below corner. Blast out through overhang and turn the lip into the corner with some serious contorting of the body

Same as Embasy traverse but continue all the way across and exit out Corner Contortion

Project that traverse the entire wall left to right

Small problem above and right of the Mecca wall. Small fun techy slab

A collection of a few large boulders and a high wall (7-10m high) about 100-200m North of Mecca Wall and 50m South of Chasm area.

The main long wall in Vaughny's area, plenty of traverse's and high ball problems

Start on left hand end of wall, traverse right for 4m into the corner and finish up crack attack.

Sit start on low side pull (R-hand) and edge (L-hand), up crack with a finger lock or two and top out.

Either up crack attack and bust right into power undercling and up or straight up into power undercling via jump or hard moves. Still needs to be rectified with Vaughn

A great outing up the main line on the wall! This highball can be wet or slimey, be sure to clean and chalk holds and place a mat on the rock behind you.

Stand start matched on good rail, either throw for the slopey ledge or use sidepulls/underclings and other things. Up on jugs to a slopey top out and mantle, exit left or right at the top.

A traverse that is Fontainebleau esk. Start matched on the right end of the wall on large jug, make a tricky move to the start of the sloper rail. Chalk up and hang on somehow, head left all the way to the end of the sloper ledge. Link-ups into Napisan and others still to be done.

Good entry level sloper problem, if it was in an area away from the sea with excellent friction it would be V2. Super fun!

Large slab right next to Ripple Wall. Some good warm up's... bring your footwork.

Sit start on jug on left hand end of slab, straight up large crack.

The middle slab problem, 1m right of Jess's sit start.

Stand start in the middle of the wall on two small slimpers, right foot on the worst sloper in the world. Balance up to start, straight up and mantle out, great problem!

Alternate and easier start for Solutions. start out right, after a couple of moves head left and finish up Solutions.

The following problems are directly behind Diamond slab.

Spearhead climbs the overhanging knife blade from right to left and top's out. Be careful of the awkward landings. Start with left hand on small positive underlung and right hand on first good edge on the knife blade. With a heel on hold tension and get established on the knifeblade, traverse left and around, mantle top out. Awesome fun!

Sit start and start off the undercling still to be added, both will be very hard! possibly V9-12

Start on the left hand side of this boulder on a good rail, throw a heel up next to your hand, move right to the arete and finish up with the same mantle as Spearhead.

overhanging crack with finger locks just left of Spearhead. Closed project

Finger crack on large diamond feature, it is on the back of the crack project (facing the sea). Closed project

Sit start at right end of wall with undercling and edge on face. Traverse left to the middle of the wall and top out on jugs.

Sit start as for Rainbow Paddle Pop, then traverse all the way to Frog Legs and up and out.

The following routes are in the chasm just around from Swirl Wall.

Sit start on large jug on the far right of wall. Traverse left with great moves on edges and good feet. On the final rail go straight up to slopers and make hard top out

This problem is the final moves of Chasm Spasm.

Stand start on rail in middle of wall, straight up and out on slopers

Stand start on rail as for Slap Chasm, but instead make a hard move left to sidepull and exit out through large crack
