Supercharger is the original classic of the crag, taking a strong line up the impressive headland of An t-Aigeach, but it is outshone in terms of rock quality by many of the single-pitch lines. The many sectors offer a variety of aspects and degrees of shelter, and cater for the full spectrum of convenience to adventure. The climbing is varied in style, from steep cracks to open slabs, walls, corners, grooves and chimneys. At its best, the rock is excellent rough brown dolerite, but there is also plenty of choss to be found here. More good routes have been added since the publication of the current Skye Sea Cliffs & Outcrops guidebook.
For the Headland follow the tourist thoroughfare of the lighthouse path. Routes south of the steps are approached either from the foot of the steps or by walking downhill towards Moonen Bay from the parking area.
While some of the sea cliffs can be accessed by scrambling, the majority require an abseil.
There is a history of belay stakes being removed. At Financial Sector, some are currently in place (summer 2022) but it is best not to assume they will be. For some of the more obscure areas, the stakes may be old or absent.
