Nice shot. The more I look at this lump of rock the more I think it must surely be a candidate for demise come the next big Atlantic storm.
Thanks

I hope not....it's worth the visas for that route alone..

Perhaps there should be a weight limit on this route then, to preserve it for lighter climbers

Thats about where I am in my profile pic!

I hope it doesn't fall down. I was pretty sound when I first went in the 70's and still ok last time in 2011.

Albert, I hear they're going to install a weigh-bridge and a set of body fat callipers on the gang-plank to the MS Oldenberg.
Hopefully, this will lessen the erosion caused by curvier climbers.

Sea looks pretty wild, I bet the approach and 1st pitch were quite exciting.
