Directions

Take the exit off highway #1 to Duke Point Highway. You will pull over about 6km after leaving the highway (see link above). Across from the saw mill about 100m from where Maughan Rd joins the highway. Across the road from here (+/- 50 ft) there is a faint trail into the brush with a small marker pile of rocks up on the ridge. You will know you are on the right trail when you find some old knotted climbing rope to help you down the steep part. The bouldering is a long bluff in the side of the hill facing the ocean. I think it's less than halfway down to the bottom of the hill.... perfect landings, crumbly rock when damp, good climbing. Thanks to the folks at Romper Room for the beta.

    A friend and I checked out the Duke Point climbing a few weeks ago and it was great. Take the exit off highway #1 to Duke Point Highway. You will pull over about 6km after leaving the highway (see link above). Across from the saw mill about 100m from where Maughan Rd joins the highway. Across the road from here (+/- 50 ft) there is a faint trail into the brush with a small marker pile of rocks up on the ridge.
