B-Team Buttress © Blinder

Crag features

The south-facing aspect of Crickmail's compact exposed walls provide the visitor with a good number of quality 20m+ routes, including classics such as the ever-popular Aero (VS), and B-Team Buttress (E1). It's a long-ish walk-in, as it falls roughly halfway between the two possible car parks, but it is well worth the effort, especially if you extend your time in the area by nipping across to Mewsford, or Triple Overhang. The previous guidebook implied high numbers of sheep suicides on this cliff; the intervening years have seen a marked decrease in this malodorous activity.

Approach notes

Tidal platform on the lower tier. Reached from St Govans or Stack Rocks. From St Govans, it is 500m past the second fence line, and just west of an obvious grassy gully leading down to a boulder beach - Seaside Gully. Abseil or scramble down to the lower tier, or take the non-tidal mid-tier.

Access Advice

A very nice crag with a popular non-tidal upper tier and well-featured rock.  The seasonal restriction below B Team buttress has been lifted in June 2015 due to birds nesting elsewhere.
