Rockfax Description
When viewed from the mainland, the long seaward edge of Hella Point is an irresistible line. The approach and the climb itself combine to provide a classic outing at the grade. Start on a small ledge below a slab at the base of the arete.
1) 4a, 17m. Climb the slab to a large ledge and belay.
2) 14m. Climb the chimney/corner and move up over blocks to a good ledge and belay.
3) 4b, 12m. Boulder up the wall above the ledge and continue up a chimney to finish. Scramble off and reverse the approach back to the mainland. © Rockfax

βeta: If you do P3 you\'ll have to downclimb to get to the ab rope and off. 50m abseil rope will get you straight to the belay ledge rather than the \"thin\" scramble suggested by Rockfax guide. | βeta? | |
