Left Side
A couple of very nice, long, routes up the most solid part of the left hand side of the gully and a route for all you contortionists out there through the cave. Be cautious if new routing either side of these routes as the rock tends to be very loose.
Routes 1 & 2 were put up by Francis Haden around 2012 and are both relatively low grade (F5’ish). No names are known.
3) Cave Route Left ** F6a
Start just right of the mouth of the cave and climb a groove to a small overlap. Pull through this on large holds and continue up the slab to an open corner above. Make technical moves up the wall just right of the groove and continue up this to a horizontal break beneath a small overhang. Traverse left along the break and pull through the roof at its left hand end. Continue up the technical wall above to ring bolts.
4) Tai Chi ** F6a
Start just right of the mouth of the cave and climb a groove to a small overlap. Pull through this on large holds and continue up the slab to an open corner above. Make technical moves up the wall just right of the groove and continue up this to a horizontal break beneath a small overhang. Move right, avoiding the overhang, and climb the wall above to ring bolts.

5) Daniels Dilemma – F7c+
A truly bizarre route through the cave at the bottom of Sea Gully. Start on the left hand wall of the cave and climb up towards its roof. Continue through the cave using as many weird and wonderful techniques as possible to exit onto the wall at its far side.
Some old bolted routes have also been climbed on the walls beyond the cave. However, loose rocks and old bolts mean these see little to no traffic.
