The four main sections, North, Central, South and Far South have a continuous under cliff path lining them all. But it is better to access each section from either end. After the 2014 landslide destroyed the southern approach, Far South and south are best accessed from the wall quarry a top South section. Sections of the Path can be quick tricky, especially in the wet and the paths to the beach blocks tend to move around over time. Take a moment to look where you are heading to before heading straight to your chosen climbing area.
The classic Pregnant Pause a contender for Portlands longest route, is a full 30m and take a least 16 Draws. A full 60m rope will make it be always tie a knot in the end just in case!

βeta: lush! worth 3 stars. low in the grade if youre strong. everything that looks positive is including the 'stuck-on' shield / flake - very pleasing climbing | ||

βeta: great moves at the crux...the holds aren't great but they get better....can do a thuggy dyno to get the obvious detatched flake or if you have the technique do it statically......looks runout between the last bolt and anchor but the climbing is easy. | ||
