Climbing Routes

Although very domesticated you couldn't really ask for more in terms of ambiance than Otter Cliffs. You'll find no bolts at Otter and only a few routes offer gear placements but as odd as it sounds to say, you'll find the sickest easy to moderate top-ropes you've ever seen. You'll weave between throngs of tourists wearing big floppy sun hats, cameras hanging from their necks, as you walk along the short approach trail. At the top of the crag you'll have to lower or rap from gear or a few present anchors to a ledge (inundated at high-tide) just above waves, lapping against the rocks. From here haul yourself back up the well traveled, clean granite with great ocean views over your shoulder. Routes are listed from left to right from the perspective of the climber, beginning in The Gallery end of the crag (ocean view right).
