Description

Come truly classic lines, lots of variations and having a high concentration of quality problems in this area. Tide dependent. The wall gets wet at higher tides, especially if there is a significant swell.

Access issues inherited from Bowen

No access issues really, except don't walk through any of the resorts to shortcut areas, this will only annoy the owners and could cause problems in the future.

Approach

Seaside Slopes are a group of boulders in the southern half of Horseshoe Bay.

Ethic inherited from Bowen

Like most other areas, clean off your chalk marks, don't chip holds, if you need to chip it means you're just not strong enough so go train, and you're ruining it for others. Always go to the toilets in the carparks, don't do it anywhere else, nowhere here is it acceptable for a bush poo!

Starting on the slopey holds of "Welcome to Barbados (low start)", head straight up aret then move right to stay on left arête

Sit start.

Start extra low on slopey hueco. Hard start moves right into the sit start of "WTB".

FA: Steve Baskerville

Stand start on good horn, straight up. A classic steep wall.

Stand start on good holds on right hand arete (facing out to sea), then up then traverse lip of boulder to end up mantling on other side of boulder. Slightly contrived but fun.

High wall start of "Super Pumpy", starting from jugs.

FA: Lee Cujes

Started a little higher on "Super Pumpy"

FA: Steve Baskerville

Sit start at base of overhanging prow. Some cool steep moves get you into a committing top section.

FA: Steve Baskerville

Stand start from lowest point (not boulder on left) then follow obvious line of sloppy features straight up. A bit committing so make sure to have some mats and spotters.

Start off low slopes and up into "Seaside slopers 1 (stand)".

FA: Brendon Abernathy

Classic, starting with low sidepull for RH and sloper for left. Up via slopers to big pocket and a thought provoking, but easy mantle.

FA: Steve Baskerville

Start as for "Seaside slopers 1" but move up and R to finish on featured rib of holds.

FA: Steve Baskerville

Start crouched with slopers. Move left to big pinch and then blast back right via more slopers to join "Seaside slopers 1" at the top.

Start as for "Seaside slopers 2" and then traverse left to the cool line of holds. Up this committing line to the top, with a high, scary crux. An outstanding problem.

FA: Brendon Abernathy

Start as for problem 8 and then after doing the first few moves traverse back R to finish up the easy section just L of the big crack.
