UKC

Restricted Access

The four main sections, North, Central, South and Far South have a continuous under cliff path lining them all. But it is better to access each section from either end. After the 2014 landslide destroyed the southern approach, Far South and south are best accessed from the wall quarry a top South section. Sections of the Path can be quick tricky, especially in the wet and the paths to the beach blocks tend to move around over time. Take a moment to look where you are heading to before heading straight to your chosen climbing area.

The classic Pregnant Pause a contender for Portlands longest route, is a full 30m and take a least 16 Draws. A full 60m rope will make it be always tie a knot in the end just in case!

βeta: Finding the bolts is like staring at a magic-eye picture; eventually they'll just dissolve out of the mottled textures, not that you really need them on this climb, the angle and the friction of the slab would stop you :)

βeta: My first outdoor climb and lead. Ideal because there was no chance of falling off. It is true that it is hard to see the bolts.

βeta: I kept expecting it get more challenging but this didn't materialise. Highly over graded.
