This is the line of cliffs running westward from Greenham Common and rising above an extensive tidal shelf system offering very fine climbing.
Approach from Stack Rocks in 10-15 mins.
The crag is in Range West, an Army live-firing range. Briefed climbers (with a valid permit) can access the crag year round when the range is not live (all weekends & on Bank Holidays plus some weekdays). Night firing normally occurs on Tues & Thurs but can alternate to Mon & Wed. The eastern end of the platform gets wet VERY QUICKLY once the tides is in, but the left-hand section is non-tidal. Cautionary note; This platform can become a very serious place to belay if the sea gets up.
Dates: 1 March to 1 August
Reason: Nesting Birds
Nesting restriction (1st March - 1st August) includes King Prawn to Luck of the Devil inclusive. Note: The abseil hole may be used to access non-restricted climbs only but please do not loiter in the area of the hole as this will prevent birds from accessing their nest site and feeding chicks.
This is a great friendly crag. Mostly solid (care towards the top of routes), non-tidal, big platforms. Lots of easy stuff too. partz - 29/Jul/14 |
