Description
This wall is world-class. The limestone is complete with pockets, immaculate flowstone and curtains, and an upper stalactite band. All routes have Titanium bolts. The wall is in the shade all day.
On school days, park in the open field to the right of Mr. Dixon's house, opposite the school parking lot. You can park in the school lot on weekends and holidays.
In the past, we asked that you go up to the Dixon's front door and ask permission to climb. This was not actually for permission, since it was always granted, but it allowed Mr. Dixon to welcome you to the island and meet new people. He is a wonderful person.
But as of this writing, March 2020, please do not go up to his door but head straight back through the field towards the wall. Angle left under a huge cotton tree, then follow a trail back to the wall. When the Corona Virus risk has gone to zero, if it goes to zero, Mr. Dixon will again be happy to greet you.
It is also suggested that if it's not your day, to watch your language because the wall reflects your voice to the primary school across the road!

Getting There
On the North Road, drive 2.1 miles (3.4 km) east past La Esperanza. Look for the "Creek and Spot Bay Junior School", the wall is directly across from the school. On weekends and school holidays you can park in the school lot. Otherwise park in the vacant lot next to Berg's house, which is right across the road from the school lot.
The Dixon's home is green and white with a white picket fence. The house belongs to Mr. Hindenberg "Berg" and Anelda Dixon, and the house to the east belongs to his son, Mr. Peter Dixon.
