In reply to Frank the Husky:
> Good to see this article, and I'm excited about the new guide. I've tried to find the buttri (excellent use of the word) of Smuggler's Terrace a couple of times but have always struggled. I get to the yellow topped post on the clifftop and then descend, rapdily losing sight of everything and I've never found any climbable crags. Any clues about when to stop on the descent would be gratefully received.
Keep heading NW for 450m, past the house on the left, to where the cliff path turns right (almost due N). Descend down an actual public footpath (roughly 984,017 on the map).
> I remember doing Central Crack at Stoupe in 2002/3. I'd seen the crag from the old railway line a few times and did it on one of my many trips to the coast to escape the world. It needed a bit of a clean at the top but was otherwise pretty climbable. I don't know if that was the FA, I assumed that it "must have" been climbed before, especially as lines had been done on the boulders. The bolts weren't in Fire Dance at that point because I droped a rope down it and had a quick shunt but didn't really get anywhere. I did consider the crag to be an ideal bolting project, but never did anything about it. And thank goodness for that.
This is amazing! Thanks so much for the info - I knew someone must have climbed there before! I will amend the FA details. So Firedance must have been bolted 2002-2009, which makes sense, as the bolts look bomber. Very, very odd though.
