Restricted Access

The coast has unfortunately been used as a suicide spot and loose kit, clothing etc. lying around has resulted in the coastguard being called out. To avoid this, climbers are requested to ensure loose equipment and clothing is kept in rucksacks on the cliff top and preferably hidden from public view. You could also consider attaching a note to your sacks saying something like, 'Equipment being used by climbers - do not remove'.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

No climbing between The Tool and Marmolata Arete inclusive to prevent disturbance of nesting birds. If using the Marmolata abseil point, please stay in the corner, spend as little time on top as possible and don't bring dogs to the top of the crag. Restrictions also apply from Sardine Special to Hard Day's Night, Andycap to Raindrop and Quasimodo to Insectitude inclusive.

35m.

Rockfax Description
The first of the mega-pumpy lines on this wall has good gear and good holds although care is required with the rock in places.
Climb to and over a roof at the low faultline and then follow the crack-line marking the left edge of the face to a steep pull over an overhang at the top. Finish by pulling up the abseil rope. If the tide is not low enough, a start up The Lean Machine to reach the faultline is possible. Finish by pulling out via a pre-placed/abseil rope. © Rockfax

βeta: This chossy route can't have been climbed in a good long time. Its well out of condition and serius'ly (boom boom) loose. Its a great line but not worthy of its 2 stars.
