A medium sized formation with a couple fun, popular routes.


Getting There 

From the South Seas parking area follow the trail to the sign-in register. Hang a left on the old road - the rocks will be on your right. After a short bit the rocks drop off and a trail goes off to the right.

Take the trail forward. The first face you'll see is "Reef One" and holds the routes Way Cool Junior, Old Number 8, and Skin To Win. Continue past this face / rock.

The trail passes the larger formation behind it, and then splits as the formation ends. Drop down (right)into the Gully & drop your packs. The Toy Boat formation is the small blob on the left, Borneo is the large formation to the right.
