West Cape Howe National Park

West Cape Howe National Park
Claimed by many as Austalia’s best crag, West Cape Howe offers kilometers of high quality routes and still much potential for new climbs. The areas are described from west to east.
Location: West Cape Howe National Park is about 35 km south west of Albany. It is the southern most point of WA.
Climbing: Mostly one pitch routes with some two or three pitch routes up the 85m. Many require an abseil approach to ledges or hanging belays above the sea, however there are also many walls where you can walk down to the base.
Top-roping from the cliff tops is easy although you will need natural pro and some extra rope or slings to set up belays. Make sure that the rock you are anchoring to is solid.
The sea can be unpredictable so always be careful when descending down to near sea level to get to the start of climbs. Always stay tied to the anchor. (more…)
