Whale Beach Sea Cliffs
A small area at Careel Point (about 5kms south of Barrenjoey). From the end of Rayner Rd Whale Beach, walk south along the path to a small lookout area. Head down the obvious path to the left (the path continuing straight past the danger sign ends up on the same track, but is more roundabout). After heading down to below the small upper cliff line, continue south along the large ledge and past a jumble of fallen blocks. At the far end of the ledge is a line of chipped holds heading down with a large steel bolt at the top (this had 2 handlines tied to it when we were there). The climbs are to the right and left of this descent (most are to the left facing the cliff).
This is more a warning than a guide, since although I intended to climb here, I didn't actually bother doing any of the routes. The fixed protection is almost all rotten, and the rock is (in my opinion) too poor for natural protection in most places. There may be some potential for enjoyable climbing if the existing fixed protection is replaced, but I probably wouldn't bother.
The guide for the area is the newly published Sun, Surf and Sandstone online guide book. This crag is described here.
