This entertaining little multi pitch climb snakes its way up the cliff
seaching out the best climbing to the apex of the quarry. Great beginner
route with good views to the Port, the occasional wedding in the garden
below, and out to the Peninsula.
Can be climbed at night with lights from the Port, and the route makes a good
simul-climb. The first few metres of P1 can remain damp several days after
rain during winter, but the rest of the route generally dries quickly.
Descent - 20m off DBB to big ledge with twin rings left of the pitch 2 belay. 30m rap to ground. Alternatively scramble up 5m through the trees, hard L through the scrub to pick up a good (exposed) trail leading around the top of the quarry above the Chakrata Wall to the viewing platform.

Start among the bush in the centre of the bowl. Head left to arete, tricky. Step right above the block and truncated tree to a nice slab. Up to the belay.

Up the steep groove, then easy ground to finish up left side of apex of the quarry. After pulling through the drill hole on manufactured holds, you can climb the line direct using two bolts placed by Daniel Rogers- Bromley and David Newstead.
