Beachside Wall

Description 

Primarily bouldering, this 60' high cliff has some rock that is not sandstone for the first 25 feet or so that makes for some excellent overhangs and fingery vertical face climbs. Above the rocks you will find from very scary loose sandstone, so watch your hands and feet when you get about 15 or so feet!

Located right on the beach, if the tide is high this can be a very scenic and loud place.

Routes on this rock range from 5.1 to V6ish, with potential for harder routes than this. Chris Sharma has put up some of the routes here, and undoubtedly many of his routes are considerably harder.

All routes are either traverse left or right to a good down climbable area, or simply jump off onto crashpads / sand below.

This wall will be in the Sun in the afternoon, and will be in the fog for large portions of the year.

Getting There 

Estimated approach time: 5 minutes from the end of the parking lot.

From the end of the parking lot, head down the downhill path onto the beach below. Walk over to the cliffy area on the left, and a hole will show up in the middle of the cliff, though it is now visible from the parking lot. Walk through the hole, and around to the left, where you will find the Beachside Wall. The wall continues for about 200 yeads, where the rock turns severly loose and sandy.
