Night firing normally occurs on Tuesday & Thursday but may also alternate to Monday & Wednesday.

A major rockfall occured here in 2014 and most of the actual point itself no longer exists! Many routes have been obliterated. A considerable amount of loose rock remains and great care is required for anyone venturing here.

15m. Access the larger of the two stacks from a steep fisherman’s path at the west end of Flimstone bay. Climb the up the crack on the west face, solid and clean for the lower 8 meters. As it becomes loose branch out right to the south face arête for an easy but difficult to protect scramble to the top.

βeta: Climbed the west face. Lovely easy to protect crack for first half. Skirted round to climb the south arête as it gets looser. Harder to protect but easy climbing/scrambling. Big slings and required for a belay. Watch out everything’s loose. Removed some rusted mallions and left a screw gate on the existing slings.
