a bit of a drama abseiling in! ..having only taught Anna at sheepstor a week earlier. Classic route and can't believe the first ascentionist date! 1898?! Agreed with the boldness at the grade given no one has that much big gear.

Run out by Ruth, top stuff!

Tried to climb slab just left with a few grabs of left hand side of crack when needed!

Boldest VDiff I've ever done. Easy climbing but seriously low on protection without lots of big gear

Straightforward. Some fun knee jams near the top!

Lovely. Anymore gear and the climb may loose its charisma. Thanks to Chris for the no 6 cam, not really needed in the end but settled the mind.

Placed gear in the first half, but did not have big enough cams with me so the second half turned into soloing apparently.

first lead on trad in 4 year well happy with myself, actually enjoyed it =]

Didn't use the crack at all, smeared up its left edge. Great little route, enhanced by the rapidly incoming tide.

Better climbing that Moonshine, felt safer thought placed many pieces of pro for an anchor. Big pieces/cams required for lead.

Classic Tilly. Some comedy gear placements and failed to use biggest cam or hex though were useful for belay. To be fair you do need massive gear and I left the size 6 camalot in the van

Very spicy for a VDiff? I know all the comments are saying 'big gear' but unless your rack consists of almost entirely massive, massive, massive cams you will find this almost devoid of gear (a few nut placements here and there and I got one cam deep inside a crack in the crack!). I had a Dragon 6 (equivalent to Tech Friend/Camalot 4) and it was not big enough. Good route but poor gear!

Excellent fun, very easy and a bit like a steep walk, even with 3 bits of gear (smaller gear in the smaller side wall crack) it didn't feel bold.

didn't really have anything big enough for the crack, pretty much a solo.

Could have done with a LOT more big gear!

Much better rock than moonshot, awesome layback all the way up.

Really nice lead, good length and interesting rock all the way up

Top rope solo. Lovely way to end the trip. Relaxing route. Extremely windy at top though.

Micros or very large gear needed to climb this crag!

Really enjoyed this, nice way to finish the day.

Relaxing pootle to finish off the day.

Nice route take some cams BIG cams! Great place for lunch on the small ledges with a cracking view!

Bit harder than I expected for a VDiff but not hard if you've got the technique down. Takes big gear (bigger than I had) or smaller gear if you look around a bit.

What an interesting day... My first ever lead on a sea cliff climb!! It's a really nice climb if you can smear, you just walk your feet up the slab! But you need lots if big gear! I made the mistake of using all my big gear near the bottom of the climb! So the top of the climb was very run out! Although I did manage to get a good hex in near the top! I would say that it was the most committed climb I've done so far!

pretty easy climb... really good holds and walked my feet up the slab but its quite bold and has a big runout (10m+) from about half way. was so glad to get a cam in just before the top

A great climb. Nice end to a long day. Can imagine it's scary for a vdiff leader... and the person on the first Ascent. More arete than crack.

fun VD crack climb. looks wet but good grip and holds

First lead in 1898! Fair play as there isn't a whole lot of gear there.

Very nice climb, great place to learn gear placement and abseiling

First sea cliff climb.

Great atmosphere and lovely easy-but-consistent moves - climbs more like a slabby arete than a crack. Not much gear - the runouts are fairly thought-provoking for a VDiff leader.

Had to do this one really just for its history: (possibly the first sea cliff climb in Britten F.A Tom Longstaff 1898)Strangely its quite bold because the only place which you can put gear in is the crack and beyond the halfway point it becomes too wide to put any gear in (Even massive hexes)

H led afterwards.

First proper sea-cliff climb. Fun route, if you can get to it!

Down climbed and then climbed back up! Top roped and downclimbed due to inexperienced second who hadn't belayed before.

Straightforward VD in superb position

great fun. kept feet out of the crack. ab straight down route at high tide - interesting :)

Not a bad climb, same move all the way up though. Pro placement is interesting

Fell over the overhang and hurt ankle, but made it out, just a little sore. Note to self - remember to be cautious when descending on climbing rope.

Mega, got to the bottom as the tide was coming in, exciting! Really nice climbing but you need big gear.

Really great climb for first climb.

Two rules about abseiling into sea cliffs. Rule One: Don't forget your rock shoes. Rule Two: Make sure that your partners know that they need to bring the ropes down. Lovely route though, and it goes in trainers too ;o)

Didn't get any gear in top half! Great climb.

Caz led the route, Josh and I seconded. Did it as a layback this time.

Had the rope we abbed in on right next to us.

Needed more big gear! Dropped down over the ridge to belay.

awesome fun. very sparse pro towards the top. had a good bit of run out....!

Great route when combined with the down climb on a wonderful day!

Excellent line. Can be done as a delicate slab or a thuggy jamming crack.

Excellent Climb, and no polishing for such a classic route

Very exciting vdiff, watch the waves, Nathan got wet feet!

Easy climbing but need big gear
