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.

2 pitches. A superb pitch with great positions, good rock and good gear.

Belay in the corner niche, at the top of pitch 1 of Tatra. Various threads available. Treat the rock directly overhead with care. Avoid the dodgy blocks above the belay by traversing out to the arĂȘte and climbing that (gear before reaching the arĂȘte) until you can step back right into the superb corner. Follow this to the top. All solid and with good gear.

There is actually nothing left of the original Tatra Direct put up in 1966 by Tony Willmott and Alan Heppenstall. The top corner was reclimbed by Nigel Coe and Tim Dunsby in 1991 after rockfall at that time!
