Cut-throat (E1 5a) © Kafoozalem

Crag features

Dubious rock is a common theme but The Pinch and Wouf Woute come highly recommended.

The Main Cliff is barely tidal and catches the morning sun. The left-hand section of crazily contorted beds suffered a major rockfall in 2011, which took out the upper part of Zeta. The routes here are not everyone's cup of tea but are currently sound enough to climb with enough good gear to make up for the odd loose hold.

Approach notes

On the outskirts of Brixham fork right at traffic lights and follow signs to Berry Head. Go past the rugby club and park 250m after the housing estate, by a gate in the lane. On the opposite side of the road a footpath leads up to a track. Follow this for 100m to the coast path and walk left along it for 250m to a metal walkers' gate into the holiday camp.

The usual descent is the fisherman's path beneath the impressive sharp arĂȘte of Cut-throat to a platform 10m above high water. A short abseil gives access to the main cliff. The high tide access to the main cliff described in the guide has lose rock and would require caution.
