About Bob's Hollow
Bob's Hollow is a steep limestone sport crag in a sea cliff near Boranup in Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park, south of Margaret River, with 15–20m routes from vertical to steeply overhanging, and caves with stalactites. Most visitors park at Contos Spring and walk north along the beach for about 45 minutes; the Bob's Hollow Road is 4WD only, kept that way on purpose to limit numbers. The rock has only a hard outer crust over softer, sandy limestone, so treat it gently. The steep walls can be climbed in light rain, but humid sea air makes the holds very greasy and some walls seep in winter.
