Introduction

A small dolerite cliff in a nice setting by the water, home to seven bolted climbs and a handful of boulder problems. The cliff dries very quickly after rain, gets afternoon sun, and is a very pleasant place to enjoy a few climbs. All routes have bolted lower-offs.
The cliff was extensively cleaned to remove loose rock before being developed but care should be taken as there will still be the odd bit that will come off.

Access

Park at the end of Spitfarm Road, Opossum Bay. Walk through the turnstile and head left. Walk the track roughly parallel to the powerlines until you reach the mast. From here go down towards the water on the left, you will reach a maritime navigation light which is at the top of the cliff. Head north and scramble down and back around to the south to reach the bottom of the cliff. The boulder problems are just below and to the north of the routes.

Camping

South Arm RSL offers camping for $5 per night only ten minutes away from the parking for the cliff.
