Description 

The Breakers form the Southwestern edge of the Granite Sea formation. There are currently fourteen recorded routes - many established in the mid-eighties by the likes of J. Brink, C.

For the most part, the rock is solid and of high quality; with more traffic these routes will clean up nicely!

Getting There
