Report of a lose bolt June 2023 - “One of the staples wobbles. As looking out at the sea it is the top left staple on the flat top of rock. This is directly above the iron ladder which gives access from Sharbutts Quarry to Sacred Angel Area”
from 14/06/2023
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!

βeta: Quite loose at the start. Gets a lot nicer from the break up with a nice layover on good holds. Overall well protected. | βeta? | |

βeta: As long as you are aware of the dust, you will appreciate this route; crux seems to be a sketchly lackback leading to a bomber flake. Well protected at that crux. | βeta? | |

βeta: Still quite dusty, particularly in the lower half. Pretty well protected on the awkward crux though, pretty good route. | βeta? | |
