First ascent
Dave Barker, Ken Morison 2/1/1992.
Located on
Further around the coast is a prominent pinnacle jutting out into the sea,
nicknamed
Elephant rock. There are a few nice lines on this pinnacle however the rock
is a bit
dangerous. The crack on the seaward end was attempted by Dave, but he
prudently
backed off.
At times there is sand at low tide around the end of Elephant rock, at other
times you may
have to jump across rock pools. The next sandy beach has a great deal of
rock, however
the quality appears to be poor.

On the beach south of the pinnacle is a low cave which gives access to a huge open chimney. Inside the chimney is a perfect Whanganui bay style corner crack (if a little dirty). Climb it to the top of the chimney. Use your imagination to get down.
