Introduction

Of the many boulders along the coastline between Cremorne and Lauderdale, this is by far the best. There are a handful of quality problems on solid rock, and it's well worth a visit or two. It can be accessed at any tide but the base of the boulder may be wet during moderate southerly swells.

Only the most worthwhile problems are recorded here, however there is potential for many further short, easy problems along this coastline.

Access

Drive into Cremorne, turn left just before the beach and park at the Northern end of Frederick Henry Parade.
Take the footpath down to the beach and head north (left). Locate the steps and take the footpath up and along the coastline for five to ten minutes. After approximately 500 metres, the track heads downhill a bit to a sharp left hand bend, where there are some newly planted she-oaks. Continue straight ahead down to the coast from here. Once the rocky coastline is reached, head north (left) for another 250m to reach the boulder.
