Boom Rock

Type
Part of

The cliffs at Boom Rock rise straight out of the water on Wellington’s rugged west coast, on the edge of Cook Strait. It is quite possibly the most friable crag in Wellington. Other climbers than the two parties listed below have been sighted climbing here, but there is no recorded information.

Access

Walk north along the beach from Makara, and traverse past Boom Rock itself to the base of the tallest wall (calm conditions are needed for this).
Descent requires climbing steep farmland to a point where you can safely get down into the gully south of the ridge.
