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!
Rockfax Description
The huge leaning arete at the end of the raised ledge is split by a rest ledge. Photogenic with fine moves high up. The path has dropped away and a clip-stick is needed to reach the first bolts. © Rockfax

βeta: A pretty easy 7b, i'd say closer to 7a+, bit of a tricky start, made that little bit scarier when your soloing it, all good fun though. | βeta? | |
