Crag features

French style limestone slabs by the sea. 

Approach notes

Begin at the Southgate National Trust Car Park and follow the road from the bottom of the car park Westward for approximately 200 metres. Look for a path on your left that cuts through the bushes and leads to a grassy clearing along the cliff tops. Cross the clearing, heading toward its western edge, where you’ll find a narrow, steep path descending into the gorse.

Follow this path downhill for around 300 metres until it steepens further and leads down to a raised beach platform. From here, head "left" (East) for Watch House East or "right" (West) for Watch House Slab.

Nice bit of Winter sport. Some seepage at Crag/Slab on starts of Drilling Fields through to I Bolt, however entirely avoidable. Slabs lose sun at about 2.30/3 at this time of year. East retained sun till late but starts were soggy due to tidal swell.

Really enjoyed Watch House East - Steep climbing on good holds, well bolted, sunny aspect...

The bolt has been replaced. Enjoy.

The hanger has been removed because there is a dangerous bolt higher on the route. A piece of rock has come off and the bolt is partly exposed and too close to an edge. It will be moved soon and the hangers replaced. Danny

the hanger on the third bolt of Anonymous Bosch, i'll take a hanger and a spare nut next time I go and check the bolt, unless somebody does it before me !!

The loose rock has now been removed and new bolts placed at the start of JTC and PA. Both now have harder but better starts and the grades remain the same.

My first time visiting today. We found a clean looking face of rock at the bottom of the crag, right of 'jump to conclusions' and a bolt in some rock on the floor. JTC still felt F7a, not sure about the routes to the right though!
