This is a tougher route of Avalon Sisters..  Head straight up and make the traverse at the top of the rock, then head up to the top..  Escape is down the knife edge arete, safe rock that will make you want to do it again!!

X Marks The Spot

Great route on the south side of Parson's Landing. to get a solid climb on... Starts with a right hand traverse out to an arete- about 15 feet.. Stop before the arete, and head north on good rock for another 15 feet.. Summit the block and make a solid retreat down the arete- making this a PERFECT route to run laps on for a good workout!

Generally just simple climb with plenty of holds.  Some holds are deluxe, others just okay.  If there is a crux it is the last move to get to the top.  The handhold isnt great (comparatively).  This route isnt going to challenge anyone who climbs much, but there look to be several other routes on the south, west and east faces.

So many options for hands and feet you can't not make it up.

The Manders is a traverse on Mere Bere's South West face. The route starts from the right, where there's an "X" mark on the rock. Moving across, the route ends on the left side just before you turn the corner to the other face of the boulder.

Although this route is mostly crimps and pinches, it's good quality rock which allows you to hold on easily.

X Marks the Spot is on Mere Bere's South West face.  This 20 foot climb is easily done without protection due to the soft sand below. During high tide your feet might get wet while starting the route.  The rock quality is very good considering the erosive effects of the ocean/wind.  The route starts below a visible "X" formed by two cracks.  Continue directly up this face.

You can descend Mere Bere by jumping off the nose that faces the beach. Check for rocks under the sand.
