Crag features
Just East of the point a prominent inlet is bounded by this cliff on it's SW side. It is 60m long and 15m high with a mostly slabby and cracked face. On the right hand side a distinctive, vertical, quartzy veign juts out from the rest of the face.
The climbing is mostly fairly easy appart from the outlying challenge of Smudgy Budgie (E3 5b). The relaxed nature of the climbing is in contrast with the boost to exposure from all the routes being above the raging sea. The waves here can be exadurated by the narrowing inlet (build belays higher than expected).
Note: There is a mistake in the guidebook for this area. Some of the routes which are supposed to be here are listed at Lec Na Hoe (Big Bay), on the other side of the island.
Approach notes
Scramble down a ramp to climbs on right (facing crag), otherwise abseil.
