Sea Boulder

Sea Boulder

No prizes for guessing where to find the sea boulder. It offers some really good climbs in the easier grade and is a good place to warm up. The rock is very well weathered and surprisingly high which can leave you feeling a little vulnerable topping out even though the climbs are not too hard.

The Problems

1. Gardner's Girdle - 5a
An excellent, exciting traverse when the tide is in. This problem traverses the boulder anti-clockwise rounds its three main faces.
2. White Streak - 6b
An eliminate problem climbing the narrow wall between the right arete and the short crack. Climb the wall using some very sharp holds, without using the arete's to either side.
