White Grunt Hole
Fabian Gysi attempting his project in White Grunt Hole
White Grunt Hole is the home of the impressive white arete across the bay from the dock at Clarence Cove. This was attempted in 2007 by Ward Byrum.
Unfortunately this line is not viable and I do not recommend that anybody tries to solo it. The water underneath the landing zone is only waist deep at low tide and chest deep at high tide and therefore will not protect a fall beyond the first third of the line. The middle third of the line unfortunately has rock with the consistency of cheese. All the holds fall off and a bolt I placed sheared out under bodyweight loading. The top third of the route has good rock but is guarded by the choss below
