Directions: Approach is either by abseil to ledge system at base of wall, or alternatively, at lowish tide and with a calm sea, it is possible to scramble down over blocky ledges starting about 50m west of Gripple Wall. Gripple Wall itself is the easy angled slab generously provided with cracks and holds which trend up leftwards. OS Grid Reference: B763271 Click here to view location in Google Maps |
