<text class="heading3">Boot Rock</text><text
class="description">This is the most isolated and least visited section of the coast, midway between Bluestone Bay and Friendly Beaches to the north of the White Water Wall Area. Access is by following the Coles Bay Dam Rd to the old mine site north of Bluestone Bay and about 1km inland. Head towards the coast south of Boot Rock. The most substantial crag is 500m south of the Boot, identified by a Rubik's Cube type wall on the left and a higher wall on the right. There is a large chimney corner at the right hand end of the wall.</text><climb

class="Discussion">This cliff is located one kilometre south of Friendly Point and is approached via the four wheel drive track leading out to Friendly Point from Coles Bay. Upon reaching Freshwater Lagoon turn right through the campground and follow the steep track at its end to the top of the hill. From the turnaround 50 metres back, head due east, following vague paths through some scrub, down towards a block, atop a cliff with a sea cave cutting through it.</text><climb

class="heading3">Friendly Beaches</text><text
class="description">The Friendly Beaches are the surf beaches at the northern end of the park. They are reached by turning off the main road 18km north of Coles Bay and walking to the southern end of the beaches, or by following the Coles Bay dam 4 wheel drive track to the southern end of Friendly Beaches. Access is made by scrambling south along the coastline from the southern end of the beach (about 20 minutes), until a large amphitheatre is reached. You can't see the cliffs from the beach because they are around the corner. They are pretty impressive though, and worth the walk. Routes are described left to right, although you'll encounter them right to left.</text><text
class="description">The main cliff at Friendly Point consists of a very impressive south-facing wall with an unusual U shaped runnel forming its left end. This runnel also marks the point where the cliff becomes east facing and is a useful reference point. The routes here are only spoiled by the lack of lower-off anchors</text><climb
