Hey everyone,
So I went to Worbarrow Tout the other night, mainly for a swim in the sea, but also to check out some sea level traverses around the headland. Does anyone have any info about routes that have been done there?

The crag is apparently mentioned in a 2008 Portland guide and a 1995 Swanage and Portland guide. But with it being within army firing ranges I expect info is pretty hard to come by.

Any info would be great.
Cheers
Matt

Just had a look in the 2008 CC Portland guide. Climbing is not permitted even when the firing is not taking place and you can be prosecuted for climbing there. 10 routes listed from Easy (does that count as an E point?) to E1. A sea level traverse is listed as a Diff.

Ah, figured that might be the case. Similar problems east of Lulworth. Cheers for the info on routes. The "Easy" might be the grade of the walk to the top of the tout
Might be good if the access notes on the crag page mentioned climbing being banned.
