Description
Past the First Bay, the Second Cove holds a wealth of new climbing. The middle area hots a scatter of boulders likely torn off from the cliffside; similar to the first bay but with much higher density. Far to the right (facing the ocean) are a few established climbs off the face, though most remains untouched. Far to the left is an easy access to the underside. The few established boulders are of top quality. And if there is a rain spell there is even a hermit cave for shelter.
Getting There
Further along the East Coast Trail (past the arrows sign) there is another accessible area. Note the scramble down begins at a small green tree. A rope can be set up off it for balance during the descent (not full body weight). It should be hiked with very high caution, especially with dislodged rocks. Hugging the left "face" an entry small ledge welcomes you.
