Crag features
Discontinous line of low cliffs with bouldering and quite a few sports routes.
The rock is a young limestone, much like Portland.
Quite a few of the routes have hard starts and hard finishes with soft climbing in the middle.
Helmets may be a good idea as the rock can be crumbly in places.
It is tidal - exiting at high tide and could be soggy...
Bolted with staples - they look ok and have held falls!
Bouldering has seen a lot of development by James Squire, Rob Stanfield and Jack Bradbrook. With potential for a few more new problems here and there.
Approach notes
Park on bay road, follow a footpath leftwards (ignore the 'do not enter' sign and plywood wall) and head down a set of narrow stairs towards a pebble beach. The main wall is presented on the left, with the doughnut caves requiring a scramble over rocks to the right.
| a word of warning to anyone who isn't keen on creepy-crawlies. Some of the pockets hold clusters of inch long sea woodlouse things, and they drop out on you. I had to spend 20 mins with a stick and a torch, dangling on our rope and extracting them from dark cracks before the rest of the party would deign to go near the routes! hms - 01/Sep/13 |

| There appears to be roughly two new lines of bolts between "Stick Insect" and "Sloped beyond Imagination". Does anyone have any information on these? Tom Brierley - 20/Jun/13 |
