Restricted Access
The four main sections, North, Central, South and Far South have a continuous under cliff path lining them all. But it is better to access each section from either end. After the 2014 landslide destroyed the southern approach, Far South and south are best accessed from the wall quarry a top South section. Sections of the Path can be quick tricky, especially in the wet and the paths to the beach blocks tend to move around over time. Take a moment to look where you are heading to before heading straight to your chosen climbing area.
The classic Pregnant Pause a contender for Portlands longest route, is a full 30m and take a least 16 Draws. A full 60m rope will make it be always tie a knot in the end just in case!

βeta: This route was incorrectly thought to be the bolted line Sketchtastic for several years. This has now been changed however if you climbed the real Mystic Gill, which is the VS slab right of the bolts of Sketchtastic, then it is likely your route tick will have been moved to Sketchtastic. You may need to delete and re-enter the log. | βeta? | |
