Let's Get Ready To Rumble!

The Neilson V2 (Hang)
With the beach to your back face the overhang. Start at the far right, take a good hold, put your toes in the honeycomb and you're ready to rumble. Make your way to the sandstone wall. Pumpy!

The Half Neilson V2 (Hang)
Start as for TN. Traverse halfway along to the last overhanging flake and top out.

* Gazzoni V1-2 (Hang)
Start as for TN. Throw your left toe into the scoops exit then top out onto the ledge. If you're bouldering by yourself ensure you place your crash pad so it's between the crux and THND. It's an awkward drop to the ground and there may not be random kids running by to pull it across for you.

The Clawhold V1 (Highball, Stand)
Facing the back of the main boulder, start on the far left corner of the slab. Top out at the buldge. Dangerous chos up top which needs more traffic to clean up. Either top out and exit beach side or slowly down climb (a good spotter is recommended).

The Whizzer V0 (Stand)
At the back of the sandstone pillar, start at the quarried incuts. Make your way up and tend right. Finish by tapping out on top with a view of the beach. Some hollow knocks on this problem, use caution when committing to the mid way holds.
