Bay 1

It is
located (0.4)km from the start of the gorge and is easily identified by a yellow
"S" (wiggly road ahead) sign just past the pull off. Bay 1 offers both bouldering
and lead climbing possibilities. There are some decent cliffs, some of which
can be top roped from the guard rail using a few long slings. The bouldering is
an interesting (albeit small) venue which is actually UNDER the highway. It
can be reached by walking just past the yellow "S" sign and then down a
makeshift path on the left. The cliffs are actually directly below the car park.
To reach the roped climbs, you can walk down the hill (past the boulder) and
make your way along the river using a series of guide ropes. The other option
is to abseil from the guard rail and pull your rope when you reach the grassy
patch at the bottom of the crag. "Groovy Gecko" is the face you will typically
abseil down and because of it's location and easy grade, it makes a great "final
climb" as that you can opt to place a quick draw at the belay and continue up to
the guard rail. This enables you to belay the remaining people up the route
from the parking lot (perhaps while listening to the car radio even!).
