HI Stu

Lighthouse track - Inverted Fuzzy Pumper is great, at least to the ledge - I never had the gall to top it out. It's a bit hard to be objective about those routes you grow up aspiring to do though. Fond memories of that one.

Disorder Corners - Weird varnished rock that seems to attract and hold salt crystals. I've been there a couple of times but honestly can't remember if I did a single route.

North Palm Beach - IMO the good routes are better than a lot of the good routes on the SW side. Wondered through there a few years ago and was disappointed to find the track overgrown.
- Once in a Lifetime: Great, and there's not one but two manky bolts protecting the crux - what could go wrong. The description in the seacliffs guide is gold as well, something about hurty burny paws. I'd love to see that description live on.
- A Clean Break: Short but really good on nice rock.
- Space Vampires: Awesome - One of the best routes in Sydney and probably still pretty safe.
- Same as it Ever Was: Sure is nice line.
There are some OK routes further E as well. The whole area deserves traffic.

Also, there is a very fun and at times quite exposed scrambly route off the E tip of the headland that winds its way down to the water. Highly recommended.
