Don't use any hard/wire brushes and avoid climbing after heavy rainfall - Climbing on wet soft sandstone destroys it!

A photo-topo style guide now exists, detailing all climbs, here - gum.co/NsVA

There are three areas - Hummell rocks proper is the a first outcrop with a couple of large boulders and smaller ones around, some big enough to be climbed. King's Chair is the head of this mini-cliff outcrop and can be easily identified by the steep overhang on its north west side. The smaller boulder directly North of this is the 'Waterboy'. Its bottom is covered at high tide.

Passed this, further West, is a second, small beach with a long vertical wall - 'Hummell wall'. This wall has some potential for easy highballs or mini-routes, but most of its lower part is too soft and very sandy.

Directly behind it (access around the north sea-ward side) lays the third area, a small alley with some potential for eliminates ('the Alley').

A bouldering mat will be handy to climb the King's chair but the rest of the landings are fairly safe.

The rock can be quite sandy so bring a GENTLE DUST BRUSH to clean off the holds (especially after kids have done sand battles).

*NOTE* - contrary to the "Definitive Guide", the landings for Forsaken and Unforsaken on the King's Chair are very much tidal, as is the Honeycombe Boulder - don't go expecting just a wet pad, it might float out to sea.
