Description

2 somewhat large boulders sitting on the high tide mark between theo's doom and the crown jewel cliff offering some pretty cool, physical problems. probably some of the better quality rock in mornington

Access issues inherited from Mornington

Best to head there at low tide.

Approach

best to approach from either fishies beach and walk north or the dog beach opposite the royal hotel and walk south. either will work. You can get there down some dodgy tracks inbetween the beaches

Ethic inherited from Mornington Peninsula

NO BOLTS. TO PRESERVE WHAT LITTLE AVAILABLE ADVENTURE WE HAVE DOWN HERE, PLEASE LEAVE DRILLS AT HOME.

A sit start on the ocean side of the north boulder. Start with a right hand pinch and left hand on the top edge, move up the rails until you get to the tip and top out

FA: Fraser Gust, 4 Aug 2017

A traverse across the lip of the overhanging face, topping out on the stepped down part of the right side. Quite physical moves. Good fun

FA: Fraser Gust, 13 Oct 2017

A linking traverse around the boulder. Begin with the sit start on"geodude", traverse across the ocean face, around the corner, across the lip of the overhanging face. Top out on the stepped down section on the far side

FA: Fraser Gust, 13 Oct 2017

Sit start with hands matched on the low protruding block. A very bunched start leads to some shouldery moves leads to a top

Sit start heading up the overhanging face. Start with left hand pinching arete and right on a low undercling. Power up to good right hand sidepull, slap to the lip and mantel direct

Low start on the slopey side pulls with a heel left. Traverse far left to top out.

FA: Evan.C, 1 Jan 2020

Start as for Fishy Business then mantle up the main face on good holds.

FA: joe tynan, 1 Jan 2020

Start with left hand on blocky high under cling and right on the sloper/crimp on the corner of the lower rh face. Squeeze hard to stand up and powerfully slap wherever you can hold to top out direct for the full experience. Note that this could be over graded.

FA: Angus Cameron, 29 Sep 2021

Immediately behind the Pewter City boulders up the tallest section of cliff. Start slighly right on the most solid section of vertical sand below the more promising headwall. Straight up via small crimps /pockets left and the large scoop in the arete. Probably safest to top out if you don't mind getting scratched up a bit in the bush beyond.

FA: Kai Seth Robertson, 3 Oct 2022

going up the cliff behind and to the right of the main pewter city blocks. start with hands on the lower ledge and move up directly using horizontal cracks and good crimps

20 metres north of the main pewter city boulders is a nice looking arete up on the cliffs. This line goes up the seaward face starting with hands on the head high ledge. Downclimb from the top hold, top out if you're brave.

Start with a hand on either side of the arete. move up to the nice pocket on the left hand face and get the top. drop off the top hold
