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.

βeta: Great climbing from 4th bolt. Solid 7b+. Could do with a fixed rope to the 4th bolt as this would make the start up the very loose rock, soil and vegetation a bit less stressful. | βeta? | |
