Intimidation starts up a six foot ramp at the left entrance of the cave.  Tuck yourself under a bulge and make the first clip off an under cling 12' up.  Climb through overhanging rock past two more clips and on to the two bolt chain anchor 33 feet above the beach. 

  LOCATION 

  This climb is located at the left mouth of the cave above a nice, soft beach belay area.

Clam Digger starts up a good hand crack that can take gear before reaching the first bolt located 20' up the route.  From here start to arch left past more bolts following a crack to an anchor shared with Clam Bake.  Clip the old gear at the chains and rappel the route back to the beach. 

  LOCATION   This climb is located 15 left of the cave at the Sea Cave Cliff.

Climb or Swim starts on the right side of a cave by means of a protectable crack.  Clip the first bolt after pulling the lip and work your way right on more bolts and finish on Tea For Two.

Tea For Two is the left most of three routes found on the Seaside Cliff. It is the wall facing Turnagain Arm located the Sea Cave Area.  The route climbs past 5 bolts located just left of some small roof fetchers.  Climb out right at the top to a anchor on the top of the face.

Choss Odyssey is the left most of three routes found on the Seaside Cliff.  It is the wall facing Turnagain Arm located the Sea Cave Area.  Choss Odyssey climbs past 9 bolts up and left.  It passes a large corner and up a slaby lip to gain the anchor.

The first bolt of Clam Bake is located 12 feet up the wall past an overhanging section. The sand would make for a great landing if not for the one large, half buried rock under the starting crux so try not to fall or have a good spotter. The first bolt is banged up form the spring ice flow yet still clip able. 3rd bolt is over the lip and not the one to the right, stick to the left. Pull straight threw a second bulge and continue climbing up the arete till you arrive at two chains bolted to the rock(no permanent carabiners beyond what is sometimes left by climbers, bring a burner if you don't want to run your rope through the chains). LOCATIONClam Bake is the left most sport route located at the Sea Cave area.

Far Right Crack starts right of the cave and has a first hanger that has been flattened by spring icebergs.  You may be able to sling it with webbing but a carabiner will not fit any more.  Plug gear up cracks on sharp, steep to slightly overhanging rock then continue to the anchor shared with Right Crack.  Bring extra gear and webbing for the anchor. 

  LOCATION   This climb is starts just right of the Sea Cave. At high tide the belay beach is under water so plan accordingly.

Right Crack shares the same start as Talk The Talk in the cave.  Start up the center pillar then cut right after a bolt on the right side of the roof.  Keep climbing up an offwideth crack and the arete. Bring pro and slings to back up the one bolt anchor at the top. There is a lot of crumbling rock on this route and it is not recommended.  

  LOCATION   This climb is starts in the Sea Cave and climbs out right.  At high tide the belay beach is under water so plan accordingly.

This route starts 20' to the left of Clam Bake (sport) and is the left most climb at this section of the crag.   Begin on a green slab that faces the ocean then pull over a green bulge with loose holds.  Keep going up the steep face on to a two bolt rusty anchor then rappel the route.  The line will take gear but I would not trust much of it to take a fall.  Remember to wear a helmet on this one.

 LOCATION 

  The belay is located under water at high tide so look before you leap out of your car to play down here on the beach.

A neat crag that is quiet for the highway and has some fun but hard climbing.  Probably the only severely overhanging stuff on the highway as well.  Literally next to the ocean so keep an eye on the tides.  As with all Seward Highway climbing the rock is often loose and crumbly so watch yourself.  Since the routes are literally next to the ocean the anchors and bolts can become really rather corroded so check for that as well.  Bring a rope bag unless you like silt shredding your rope.  *CHECK THE TIDES BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT*
