Rockfax Description
The classic of this buttress does not disappoint. Start on ledges at the base of East Gully.
1) 4a, 13m. Move up easily to the base of a wide crack. The crack and wall on its left lead to a large belay ledge.
2) 4a, 12m. Move up to the V-chimney behind the stance and climb it before making a move right and up to a guano-stained belay ledge.
3) 4a, 10m. Move right to a steep crack and climb to a belay ledge.
4) 4b, 12m. The wide crack/chimney above leads to a niche, from which harder climbing accesses a ledge and belay.
5) 4a, 12m. Continue up short corners, past ledges, to the top of the cliff. © Rockfax

βeta: Guide suggests scrambling down and walking around sea level ledge for access. With a minor sea swell, we couldn\'t take this route even at low tide and abseil in was far more straightforward. | βeta? | |

βeta: 1st pitch appears to have no gear unless you carry American size cams and there is a fulmar on belay ledge top of pitch four ! Probably won’t be very happy when chick hatches | ||
