Descrizione

A small sandstone crag, with an easy access and a nice position. This place makes a great summer crag as there is almost always a breeze and is in the shade in the afternoon. Note that the routes on the right side of the cliff can not be accessed at high tide due to water flooding the area. All of the climbs require the belayer to find a suitable tree and bring up a second. Helmets are recomended for climber and belayer, as there is quite a bit of loose rock on the topouts.

Avvicinamento

The cliff is located at the north end of Sunshine beach. Go through the back streets and along to the end of Seaview Terrace and park here. Head north along the beach to the headland. Either walk along the rocks to access or head up the obvious walking track up the hill and take the the track leading down to the cliff.

Routes are listed left to right.

Etica

Remember that you are in a National park, don't litter, clean up any rubbish, don't disturb the wildlife and no bolting. It is essential that climbing in this area remains low key.

Storia

Grafico cronologico delle vie

History: There used to be a route called Hungover Fisherman (19) that was on a pillar, but in a storm the pillar fell over so the climb no longer exists. Also with the pillar no longer there, the route 'No Horizontal Moves' is no longer contrived.

Up the corner just left of TCC. Gear is sub-optimal, but at least it's easy. May have been climbed before listed fa

FFA: Matt Pelekanos & Christine Lethbridge

Climb up to the grassy ledge at half height, then blast up the black slab with the crack running up it.

FA: Oliver Rickford & Terry Forbes, 2010

Starting just to the right of TCC, this climbs the blocky and steep arete. Climb up to ledge on right, then tackle the hard step accross move. From here to top.

FA: Matt Schimke

Up the slightly overhanging corner, plug in gear and then go up on jugs to a rest stance, then right and up to nice top out. Watch for loose blocks. May have been climbed before 2019.

FFA: Matt Pelekanos & Christine Lethbridge

Start 2 metres to the left of Grommet on the slighly overhung face, with an attractive crack at the top. Climb the steep jugs until you pull onto a ledge. Put some bomber gear in then blast up the crack.

FA: Matt Schimke

Chossy climb/scramble up the corner. Some good gear if you want.

FA: Denise Crook & Mark Plenderleith, 1988

Climb the face 2 metres to the left of LH, the top has some exciting moves.

Starting below the left leaning crack offers the best protection.

FA: Michael Byrom & Alistair Byrom, 1988

A good beginner lead with enough gear to keep the innocent happy. Start just to the right of arete, and follow weakness slightly left, before trending back right at the top.

FA: Michael Byrom & Alistair Byrom, 1988

Climb up the slab using the horizontal slots. With the pillar gone it is no longer contrived as you cannot bridge on it. Might not have much gear as it was originally done on Toprope.

FA: Michael Byrom & Alistair Byrom

Climb the thin wispy crack 1m to the left of the arete to a ledge. Place some RP's in left trending crack and continue to top.

FA: Mark Plenderleith & Denise Crook, 1988

Start on the flat rock at the bottom of the arete, pull on the jugs. Get to ledge and blast up on sidepulls and gastons. Quite serious, as there is no gear in the top half. Originally a TR climb.

FA: Alistair Byrom & Michael Byrom

A short problem to get you warmed up.

Start: Start under Mike and the Mechanic on two jugs. A few fun moves and your done. Finish by matching on the high jug, your feet should only be a foot above the ground.

FA: Oliver Rickford, 2010

Start just to the right of arete in steep bulgy crack. Climbs this untill trending slightly right into the Mambo Man crack corner at the top.

FA: Mike Cook & Frank Egyed, 1988

Climb the left trending jug haul just to the right of MATM, then straight up into a small corner. Look for the small hanging flake at half height. Not much gear in the first half.

FA: Ian Harrison & Mark Plenderleith, 1988

Takes the obvious right facing corner above the start of Mambo Man . A bit contrived but if you manage to resist stepping right onto Twisted Sister it has an exciting conclusion.

FA: Ian Harrison & Mark Plenderleith, 1988

Climb the slightly overhung crack corner, 1 meter to the left of BTTB.

FA: Mark Plenderleith, Ian Harrison & Denise Crook, 1988

Campus Problem.

Start at BTTB on crimp, then campus right along the ledge.

FA: Oliver Rickford, 2010

Starts 2 meters to the left of Pipeline at crackline. Follow this to top.

FA: Mark Plenderleith & Denise Crook, 1988

Start 1 meter to the left of Cardiac Arete. Follow crackline on brilliant rock to cruxy bulge, then topout to tree belay to the left.

FA: Frank Egyed & Mike Cook, 1988

Climb obvious arete just to the right of Pipeline.

FA: Frank Egyed & Mike Cook, 1988

Contrived, straight up the grey wall on the right side of Cardiac Arete to a large break, up right onto ledge. From here to top.

FA: Mark Plenderleith, Michael Freemantle & Ian Harrison, 1988

The beautiful crack corner just to the right of FFTF. Some loose rock on the top out.

Straight up the red wall to the right of BD.

As close as you can get to the water. Thin.

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
