About Peak Head (Torndirrup)

Peak Head is a granite headland in Torndirrup National Park near Albany, with committing two- and three-pitch trad routes on clean reddish granite on its ocean side: cracks, slabs and faces, with occasional long runouts. From the Stony Hill car park (clean your boots at the dieback station), walk the steep Peak Head Track with some granite scrambling (allow about an hour) to the climbers' descent. The ocean face catches the Southern Ocean weather and swell, so pick calm days. Check DBCA park alerts before you go, as fires have closed the area in the past.
