About Freycinet — Whitewater Wall

Whitewater Wall is the main sea cliff at Freycinet National Park near Coles Bay on Tasmania's east coast: white granite, 10–50m high, mostly trad, with some routes reached by abseil. The track leaves the Cape Tourville road a couple of kilometres before the lighthouse; a 4WD is recommended for the camp road above the wall, then it's a five-minute walk with a tricky descent. The wall faces east onto the Tasman Sea, so it gets the morning sun and shade in the afternoon. The east coast is warmer and drier than most of Tasmania, but easterly weather and East Coast Lows bring rain, mist and big seas. Check the swell forecast and watch the waves while belaying: rogue waves do hit the wall. A Tasmanian Parks Pass is required.
