Starting just the north of the ravine and extending approx 150 metres further in that direction. Most of the cliff sits above a low wave washed platform and above that, a fairly broad higher terrace from which the climbing starts.
Point Perp is located within a Navy Weapons Range and is closed on most weekdays for live fire exercises. It is generally open only on weekends and during NSW school holidays, but even at these times access can be restricted due to crowding and the limited amount of car parking within the range. In peak season the entrance gates can therefore be closed for hours at a time until the range empties out again; at these times consider starting early to beat the rush. At all times of the year, it is best to ring the rangers to check accessibility before you go (02 4448 3411), to avoid the risk of being turned away.
If the range is closed you can always go to the Town Cliffs, accessed from Currarong.
Approach along the firetrail which starts at 30 Crookhaven Pde, Currarong. This is good for mountain bikes if you'd rather not walk. Follow the firetrail east for 300m to the water reservoir, and continue another 500-600m to a sharp left turn in the firetrail. Follow the firetrail around the left turn, passing a fork after 80m (don't go L to trig station here). About 100m past the fork you need to turn R off the firetrail and bush bash east to the clifftop. You're looking for the big clear stone platform above a major arete (easily visible on maps). ALTERNATIVE NEW ACCESS November 2020. Go down the gully as for Tumbledown turn right facing the ocean and along the platform to find DRB's on the platform. When there is a low swell, rap down to the platform and walk South. You need to leave a short static in place so you can jug back out when you have finished climbing for the day. You can knock over the sport routes on this level and then access the climbs at Chippendale on the upper ledge via the knotted rope up the fishermans ascent/descent.
Point Perp is predominantly a trad crag. There has been more bolting recently but this is a particularly contentious topic. A lot of the bolts are the traditional Aussie carrot and some routes require you to bring up to a dozen keyhole hangers.
