Has anyone ever climbed / attempted to climb / abseil this place? I saw a corded thread about 20 m up the wall. Any details would be appreciated
Cheers

Go and look at the rock at the bottom. Its choss. The whole wall is choss. It makes the Watagans look solid.You know that.

Hence my surprise and intrigue seeing a thread ang piton on the the wall. There is potential for some major trouser filling routes though!

Is it sandstone? Some of the darker bits look ok...

Geezuz! It's like a seacliff version of Glenbrook!

All choss. Grew up about 1km from there and checked it out countless times. Even if you did get to the top, the last 30m of mud would be hard to protect!! Maybe check out susan gilmore beach for some bouldering, still pretty loose.
