Restricted Access
Due to the tilted nature of the huge rock platform at the base of the cliff, retreat from routes on the SW and S faces is only possible for 2 - 3 hours before or after low tide. Night firing normally occurs on Tues & Thurs but can alternate to Mon & Wed. A large rock fall has affected some routes left of Surprise Attack.
2018 - another large rockfall has removed parts of routes in the 'Seafarers' area on the west side of the point.

Rockfax Description
Bold climbing in a tremendous position. Start from the belay of Surprise Attack. Move boldly up leftwards and then bridge up a groove to reach a hanging groove in the arete. Climb this with difficulty to reach easier ground. © Rockfax
