UKC

Browsing through the UKC logbook I was disappointed to find that someone now considers Lundy's "The Ocean" impossible
I went on to consider its length, and wonder what sea cliff routes in England exceed its 128 metres

No traverses, please!.

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=123191 must take some beating!

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Woops, that's Scotland!

In reply to Tom Valentine:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=890 Has to be a contender.

No traverses, please.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Valhalla? (600ft)

In reply to Chris Craggs:

No traverses, please.

In reply to Bulls Crack:



Sorry, that's Wales.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Breakaway, also 600'.

In reply to Chris Craggs:

I'm sorry, I was assuming you could read. Read the OP.

In reply to John2:


Good point - well made.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Either some horror fest in north Devon or on North east coast?

Longest in Britain - testament to the insane?

In reply to Tom Last:

If you mean Breakaway at Henna, UKC has it at 100m.

In reply to Ian Parsons:

Which one?

In reply to Tom Valentine:


Haha, someone needs to correct that then!

Obviously not done the route, but seen the cliff many times and it ain't 100m.

My mistake though, Climbers' Club guide says 500', not 600' - still over 150 metres.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

The Hart/Stanger route near Flamborough Head; I assume there's only the one!
I can see why you asked; just checked the database (wherein I didn't expect to find it) and there are twelve others.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

These also from the Atlantic Coast of Cornwall.

Bukator Cliff

Private World - 540 feet
In Memorium - 600 feet!
Where There's a Will... - 500 feet

Beeny Cliff

The Tourist - 530 feet

All of then XS. Cold sweats just thinking about that lot

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Did it a couple of years ago and although its dirtier than it was 15 years ago its just a bit furry, not "impossible" by any means.

In reply to deepstar:

I give up.

In reply to John2:

John, just to tip you over the edge!

Just read a magazine article on this, sounds quite an adventure.

In reply to petegunn:

Yes but


if you start telling people that the Lleyn peninsula is in England you will cause a bit of upset....

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Aren't some of the 'up' routes out of the Exmoor coast traverse something like 900', not sure how much is actually rock though.

In reply to Tom Last:
In the early 80s Gordon Jenkin and I tied 4 or 5 ropes together and abseiled down Little Hangman to sea level arriving at the bottom at high tide ( seemed to happen far too often!). We escaped via a couple of pitches of reasonably conventional extreme climbing followed by a great deal of extreme scrambling, so I guess it could be a candidate, but wisely never recorded it as a route.

In reply to petegunn:

Good God, I don't remember a position like that! I don't remember there being two teams on it either during our ascent.

I do remember it coming on to rain so much that I thought we weren't going to be able to get the car back up that muddy track, and encountering a pterodactyl's nest about halfway-up - literally about six feet tall.

In reply to Tom Valentine:

Of course The Ocean isn't impossible, btw.

Hi Tom V.
You must get out more plenty of slabs still to do maybe with youknow who Bernie or me . ps I'm back in Barnsley for a couple of weeks.

In reply to Iain Peters:


On that basis one would assume that The Kamikaze Sheep Escape Route (250m) at Foreland Point might also fit the bill!
