Rockfax Description
A brilliant climb. Varied, well protected and in a remote location. Start at the back of the bay at a cave.
1) 4c, 17m. Climb the right wall of the cave to a ledge. Bridge up past a roof and continue up a corner to a belay at the faultline.
2) 5a, 19m. Move up onto the wall above the stance and head rightwards (thread) to a bulge. Pull over the bulge to a corner and finish up this. Stake belays in place above. © Rockfax

Kiddie68	13 Jan	Show βeta βeta: Another wild and fantastic route well deserving its 3 stars. A great lead by Simon, especially the sustained groove above the thread on the top pitch, a bit of a sting in the tail. Crux was the sketchy mud traverse back along the cliff top!	βeta?

Iain Weymouth	13 Apr, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Brilliant route. To exit the top belay stakes I recommend heading east towards the lighthouse, west is longer and more frightening especially when damp !	βeta?

Cdubs	14 Oct, 2020	Show βeta βeta: The route of the first pitch is more obvious in the Rockfax book than the app. May be due to the different angles they were taken? The app would have you go too far right and miss the pull into the corner	βeta?

Graeme Hammond	21 Sep, 2020	Show βeta βeta: If using the CC guide follow the description and aim for the groove above the belay, dont traverse right where tbe topo line is drawn this is wrong!

Neil Adams	7 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Brilliant route. Did it in late evening and had to search around for ages to find the belay stakes, but found them eventually, just at the edge of the thorny stuff. I thought the first pitch was actually harder than the second - what should have been the crux was fine once I committed to it.	βeta?
