Rockfax Description
65m. One of the best routes on the island. Start from the right end of the long ledge at high tide level.
1. 40m 5b Move up and right to a smaller ledge with a flake/thread (rough sea alternative belay). Follow a flake-line rightwards to a ledge and then trend steeply back left and into the right-hand of two short cracks leading to easier climbing. Move into a vague depression, past a huge downward-pointing flake, to climb a crack through a bulge (crux) on the left; then up to belay on the left under a break in the long overhang.
2. 25m 4b Pull through the narrowing in the overhang and continue directly to the top.
