Cabin Door (Islet)

Climbs 16 – Rocktype Limestone – Altitude Tidal – Faces N

Crag features
The islet faces North: Half tide, but long beach access.

This is an area of slabs adjacent to the prominent offsure stack of Pen-y-Holt - easily seen when approching from the East. An antractive area which is 'disappointingly loose'.

The three obvous seaward-facing slabs are faced by smaller slabs on the islet between the stack and the mainland face. The islet has a distinctive keyhole cave on its seaward side and can be climbed down on this seaward side to the rocky beach at low tide and with an interesting and gripping traverse at high tide.

Access to the rocky beach is either by abseil down the mainland slab (from the 2 new stakes) or by walking in from the approach to Pen-y-Holt Bay.
