I did a *BIG* mistake in my post...we're coming in October not in November...

@White trash: I see on pictures several climbing areas like "The Grotto Cliffline" and "Thompson's point"...the cliffs looks amazing! the shapes are disturbing! Here in south of France, the only way to climb on sandstone is to climb one of a big walls at "Cap Canaille". But there is only a little slice of few meters thick containing sandstone, surrounded by limestone.

Here is a picture when climbing in this piece of standstone: http://a401.idata.over-blog.com/0/04/81/93/2010-4/Damocles--2-.JPG

@mikllaw: Do you think that it'll be too hot to climb at the end of October? Other cliffs you told me look great but i'm looking for sport routes with quick access and not so far from the see. Moreover my girlfriend is scared when it's too high...

@widewetandslippery: Thanks for information. A friend gave me a guide about Perpendicular Point climbing. I'll do my best to climb over there, it's beautiful. I would like to camp at Honeymoon bay but it seems to be open only fridays and saturdays. Access to the Beecroft Peninsula seems to be strongly regulated, do you know if i'll have the possibility to park my van for 2 nights there?

Thank you all
