Cape Raoul - West Face

Though less famous than its eastern counterpart, the west face of Cape Raoul is a place of exciting new developments, thanks to a very conveniently located sea level ledge, the Gift Shop, which offers a great belaying spot for two exciting pitches of climbing at the end of the world. Just make sure to aim for low swell days!
