<guide version="3"> <header name="Marrawah" id="1" walk="A few minutes" sun="" rock="Coastal quartzite up to 20m high" intro="" history="" acknowledgement="by Nick Hancock" access="From Marrawah head 4 km south west, first on the C213 then the C214, to the junction with West Point Road. Follow this another 4 km, until about 1 km from Lighthouse Beach, where you will see a dome shaped cliff a couple of hundred metres off to the right. Head through a thin band of moderate scrub by the side of the road, and then easily to the orange streaked south west face. The slightly overhanging cliff is composed of perfect quartzite, reminiscent of the Arapiles." camping="" autonumber="true"/> <climb name="Pepileptic Cat" id="61" fa="Roger & James Parkyn, Jan 2015. " grade="18" length="15m" number="1." extra="" stars="*">Going leftwards from FotC is an orange wall that is somewhat bald of grips. This route starts left of that where the rock is grey and more holds are present (about 10m left of FotC; directly below a point where the cracks mid-way up the cliff form a ^-shape). Climb up for 5m then rightwards a meter or two then up through the bulge and headwall above (where the rock is whitest). Steep but on big holds, solid jams, and good gear; especially cams in the horizontals.</climb> <climb name="Flight of the Conchords" id="4" fa="Nick & Heather Hancock Sep 2009." grade="24" length="20m" number="2." extra="5Þ" stars="***">Follow an orange streak on the left side of the face past 5 bolts to a DBB.</climb> <climb name="The Distant Future" id="5" fa="Nick & Heather Hancock Sep 2009." grade="25" length="20m" number="3." extra="5Þ" stars="***">More towards the centre of the crag, boulder up to a good horizontal break and the first of 5 bolts leading to a DBB.</climb> <climb name="Part Time Model" id="62" fa="Roger & James Parkyn, Jan 2015.
