Description

A very traditional granite cliff split into several distinct buttresses that rise from a rock platform which is submerged at high tide. Many climbs can only be accessed at lowish tide. Faces south-west and can get very hot (by British standards!) in summer. Routes up to 200' high, very popular.

Getting There

Parking (pay) at Porthgwarra, a tiny hamlet that is reached by narrow lanes. Follow the track to the coastguard station, then identify the best descent.
