White Wall

(6 routes)

A gem of a south facing cliff, easily spotted from the DOC carpark as you look across Joyce Bay. It is the clean white wall at the end of the scrubby spur (Point Robertson).

Type: 
Wall
Altitude: 
0m
Aspect: 
South
Walk time: 
30min
Access: 

Approach via rocks from Joyce Bay. One section of exposed but easy scrambling leads to a good platform below the cliff. The exposed section can now be bypassed by fixed ropes in a track cut through flax over the bluff. Don't go if a more than moderate swell is running. All routes are approx 15m, have double ring anchors and some need gear (cams to #4). Excellent rock.
