Crag features
A hybrid crag with some sport, trad and bouldering. The rock can be loose and snappy so be cautious when climbing and belaying, helmets recommended. The main wall will be partially affected in very high tides or big swells. The crag faces south/south-east and can be a delightful sun trap, with climbing possible even through the middle of winter.
Approach notes
From the Bettridge Centre car park (57.030423, -2.148508) follow the path to the south alongside the railway over the style and beyond the railway bridge and continue past the obvious (telephone) mast.
At the next field fence (gate often open), turn left (south-east) and walk to the edge of the field then turn right and follow the fence south-west until you reach the point in the fence where it makes a sharp turn to the left (towards the sea), cross the wire fence by the large cylindrical post (57.021867, -2.153115). You'll soon see the crag and a path going down hill which passes below the first buttress on the left.
No Access Issues
Respect the crops when walking near the fence.
| A pretty good crag and addition to the local area. Found the rock to be super nice and very sharp. Did not encounter loose blocks but there's potential for some to come off eventually as it sees more traffic.
Some of the initial bolts on the main face seemed high, but they were all ok to be reached just 1-2 moves off the ground. No clip stick needed at all. It's all in your head ;) trying.soft - 18/Sep/22 |
