Restricted Access
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 big flowstone pillar right of a large groove. Start by scrambling up to a bolt below and left of the corner. It has some friable holds so don't pull too hard. Old bolts. © Rockfax

βeta: did the second ascent of this route the climbing is pretty good, but the rock will get dusty after a wet winter. Trouble with this sector is the need for constant re-cleaning to maintain the routes, cos they don't get the traffic | βeta? | |
