No known access issues. However Anglesey Council (who manage the coastal path that passes close to the top pf the crag) have recieved complaints from walkers, that climbers cause a hazard by belaying across the path. The neighbouring farmer has also blamed climbers for the collapse of the boundary wall, due to climbers using it to belay from. Please avoid doing this!
The land above the crag is now designated open access land.
Multiple Gul nests around the area, worth inspecting your route before commiting.
Dates: 1 February to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
Nesting birds occasionally appear on Wild Rover section and Choughs are know to nest somewhere near the "Tomorrow is Cancelled" route - if seen please avoid.
There is a new chough nest on Hydrophobia its an old pair that have moved around the corner, Please avoid the routes Nige's Arete to Claustrophobia gully.
Rockfax Description
A great route which has a fierce pull on the crux. Thankfully, this is well protected by modern gear and small wires. Start from directly below the slab, or from a ledge on its left side if the tide is in. Climb to a crack-line. Pull over the first bulge then make a tricky move to a second ledge. The rest is easier and eventually leads into a small groove and an exit rightwards. © Rockfax

βeta: Rockfax states exit to the right but this causes a lot of rope drag. Step up above and top belay from there. | βeta? | |

βeta: The older guidebooks list this climb as 'sea shanty', with Truant being entirely in the crack to the right. Rockfax appears to have confused matters by combining the lower section of Sea Shanty with the upper section of Truant - creating a hybrid route. Whatever the name, it's a great climb. | βeta? | |
