May 5, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

Low tide at 7pm, a big swell and 40mph winds, not to mention 10C and possible showers – you’d be hard pressed to pick a less conducive set of conditions […]

May 3, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

Screda Point is archetypal Culm Coast climbing – smooth uniform angled slabs, with discontinuous cracks providing occasional holds and even more occasional gear. All 7 routes described in Rockfax on […]

Lower Sharpnose

May 1, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

Lower Sharpnose must rank as one of the most unusual and spectacular climbing venues in the UK. Three parallel fins of rock, unfeasibly thin and seemingly fragile, jut defiantly out […]

Roche Rock

April 30, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment

Compass Point

April 29, 2021by Dominic 1 Comment

Kenidjack and Gurnard’s Head

April 25, 2021by Dominic 1 Comment

April 22, 2021by Dominic Leave a comment
