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.

A good route which takes the right wall of the corner of Alex of Gowla. 120 feet Start on the grey ledges, as for Indian Country. (Note that these ledges are above high tide level) Pull leftwards into a groove on the blunt arete, and climb to the top of the groove. Continue up the left side of the arete to gain a shallow open corner. Climb this to a small flake (thin tape runner) then climb the wall above on positive holds (crux), trending left on better holds, to finish up the final easy corner of Alex of Gowla.
