Approach-
This area is on the West end of Marley Beach. Don't go into Astwood Cove itself.
The quickest approach is from the carpark in Astwood Park. Walk seaward along the approach path and
down climb an easy groove on your left, via the handy (in-situ) rope.
Walk about 50-75m along the beach to the boulder.


White Wall bouldering (Marley Beach West).
This is an overhanging wall offering worthwhile lower grade problems in a stunning, secluded setting.
4-5m high depending on sand level.

The rock is pretty reliable, but the top outs can be sharp and 'character building'.
In average conditions the landings are safe onto deep sand. A spotter might be a good idea when the sand level is very low.

1/ Storm Surge (V2) (weedavie- 12/7/8)- the longest problem on the boulder, following the obvious juggy left- to- right hand rail, crossing Breakdance, Flangio, Tiny Bubbles and topping out on the last move of Bertha.
(Named from storm surge waves- courtesy of Hurricane Bertha- that washed the boulder at low tide on the day of the FA).

2/ Atlantic Arete (V2) (weedavie- 19/7/8)- excellent climbing directly up the juggy left arete of the boulder to a sharp top out. Easier than it looks. Video here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/23422843@N02/2686170455/

3/ Breakdance (V1) (weedavie- 8/7/8)- gain a juggy, horizontal break in the distinctive triangular niche then go for gold straight above.

4/ Flangio (V3) (weedavie 21/10/8)- who can resist a nice bit of flange? This direct route takes the centre of the White Wall. Power through shallow, fingery pockets via the obvious flange feature to a juggy chequered flag.

5/ Tiny Bubbles (V1) (weedavie- 8/7/8)- just left of Bertha, climb the smooth wall through a shield of pocketed rock.

6/ Bertha (V1) (weedavie- 8/7/8)- at the right side of the White Wall, climb the faint crack line, topping out via a tiny left facing corner.

The low traverse of the White Wall boulder goes at V0.

The Prow (V1) (weedavie- 23/7/8)- from a sit start down in the niche on the left climb the strenuous prow feature to a razor top out! Much better at low sand level.
