UKC Logbook - 'Diedre Sud'

42m.

Rockfax Description
The long corner in the centre of the face is one of the classic climbs of its grade in Britain; it does get busy though. Climb the corner to a ledge at half-height (possible belay). Continue up the corner above, passing the small overhang on the left.
At low tide, an alternative and wonderful approach can be made across the bay by descending as for Gun Cliff which requires a short abseil from solid rings (possible to use and retrieve your climbing ropes if necessary). Once down the walk across to Mowing Word is spectacular and you can even go through the huge sea tunnel. You still need to traverse the breaks to get to the base of the groove. © Rockfax

Steve Bartle	20 Sep, 2020	Show βeta βeta: There\'s a big obvious, football sized, block right near the top of the exit groove that is loose and not well supported. Try to avoid pulling/standing on it!	βeta?

Eloise Horsfield	29 Aug, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Lovely to climb this (in one pitch) as the sun set behind me. Unfortunately I dropped a set of five offset nuts into the sea right at the bottom of the route. Oh no!! They slipped between two rocks; despite our best efforts to dive down and get them, we couldn't see a thing. We just ended up getting very cold. Hope someone else got to them before they got too salty	βeta?

alan moore	31 May, 2005	Show βeta βeta: Abseiling in is a travesty: Approach from across the bay at low tide and traverse throught the truly astounding tunnel. A short sea level traverse at Mod standard gains the start.	βeta?
