Description Suggest change

This shorter bouldering rock contains some exellent, but short jug hauls and traverse routes. The left (east) face also contains excellent warmup terrain, a great spot for warming up for climbing or bouldering at Mickey's Beach. Routes range from V0 to approximately V4, depending on the current sand height.

Climbing on this rock is tide and sand dependent, at high tide you'll find the starts in the surf, which make for hurried, dirty starts. At low sand you'll still find excellent warmups, though 1-2 move routes instead of 4-5 moves.

Descending from the top of this rock is no problem regardless of the sand height, though your jump down onto the sand will be a little more interesting! You can easily descend by going left from the top out of Spanish Inquisition.
