Directions: From Bamba's Tower head North crossing the fence via the stile. Then head North East to reach the Eastern edge of the small island. Cross where the channel is narrowest (seems logical!) and climb up a rock rib to a large square block. A short descent allows one to cross onto the island via a chockstone. Access depends on sea state as in calm seas it can be done at high tide. In rough seas it can be quite exciting. Initial routes are on the South west tip but there is potential most of the Southern side. OS Grid Reference: C397597 |

1 - Furthest North
Length: 7m Trevor Hartley and Alfie Conn 19/4/2011 At the Western end of the island there is a large non tidal boulder, abseil down to this. Beware it can be wave washed in high seas and a belay is very sensible. This whole face is easily seen from the mainland oppositeFrom the righthand end of the boulder go up the overhung slab avoiding the overhangs on the left View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
