Restricted Access
Limited parking. Do not block passing places or the crofter's vehicle access to the moorland on the opposite side of the road. Approach through a gate a couple of hundred metres up the road from the isolated cottage.
Some seasons there is a cormorant nest on Spantastic, and another nest down and right of Lucy in the Sky. Check before throwing in an abseil rope.
This climb is on the South Stack, to the south of South Tunnel Buttress.
An intimidating line up the overhang-capped groove right of Rude Awakenings. Start from a tiny triangular ledge in the bottom of the groove, and climb easily up the below the roof. From here, pull awkwardly up and left using good undercuts and side-pulls. Step back right and balance up the excellent left-slanting groove directly to the summit of the stack.
