Description

On the ocean side of Plant 1 and opposite Plant 2 is a small alcove with stepped arêtes and corners up to 7 m high. The landings aren't great, and it's hardly worth racking up for such short routes, though many were led, but very easy to set topropes, this requires trad gear.

If you have benefited from climbing infrastructure in NSW, please consider making a donation towards maintenance costs. The Sydney Rockclimbing Club Rebolting Fund finances the replacement of old bolts on existing climbs and the maintenance of other hardware such as fixed ropes and anchors. The SRC purchases hardware, such as bolts and glue, and distributes them to volunteer rebolters across the state of New South Wales.
