In reply to jimmccall:
Yep, there are plenty of short easy Trad routes at
Sand Point especially Middle Hope (West Buttress), simple walk off access, but tidal window is only 4-6 hours.
If I was trying to sell climbing to a novice I'd be tempted to drive a little further for
Three Cliffs Bay it is such an idyllic spot, thinking back to my early climbing experiences I think the aesthetics of the venue were pretty important to me. It took me longer to begin to appreciate climbs for the quality of the moves alone.
