Description

The highest bouldering rock at Mickey's beach reaches an impressive 30 feet above ground, and contains tough and some easy routes on all sides but the ocean side. You can find V1-ish climbing on almost all sides of the rock.

Climbing on the west side of the rock will probably eventually be toprope-able, as the landings down below aren't too friendly to 30foot falls.

Tide Dependent, this rock will sometimes have starts in the water, so watching the tide charts is essential to a good climbing experience at all rocks on Mickey's Beach, except for the west face of the main rock. The picture below is taken at a high tide, though the section shown is usually beach until well past the leftmost boulder.

Getting There

Approach time: 5 - 15 minutes.

From the main rock, this is the largest rock on the beach to thewest. Walk down the pathway, or the ramp from the climbingsections on the main rock onto the beach, and it is the 30 foottall pointy rock on the beach.
