UKC

32m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The original route is well worth seeking out. Start from ledges on the left of the zawn at low tide.
1) 5a, 12m. Climb a black overhanging corner on good holds trending right to gain a ledge at 10m. Continue up and right via a short wall to another bigger ledge and stance.
2) 4b, 12m. Follow a superb exposed line out right across the yellow headwall of the cave. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
An excellent mini-adventure taking 3 consecutive walls rising above the sea, each wall getting slightly easier but more exposed. P1 - climb overhung corner via it's right wall, with some strenuous and committing moves to reach a ledge (5a), then climb the next wall with similar commitment to the next ledge (4c), and a good belay included a big cam. P2 - climb the final wall traversing rightwards via obvious tramlines in a fine position (4b).
