USER ATTENTION

3 March 2023 update: Peregrines and other seabirds are either prospecting or nesting on this crag.

A temporary ban has been put in place by the National Trust covering the area of cliff between Tubby Head and Bawden Cliff, so includes all of the major route locations up to and including the America Buttress. Once the exact locations of any nests have been identified, restrictions may be lifted.

from 03/03/0023

Rockfax Description
The huge open-book corner to the right of the upper part of America is a good pitch, although it is prone to seepage and can be vegetated. This is the final pitch of the original line that started at sea-level. Start by abseiling to the base of the corner.
Ascend the corner to a ledge and then less strenuously to an overhang. Move out left to a ledge and using good holds above a bulge, pull through it and continue to the top. © Rockfax
