ACCESS

Clearly visible from the Dunraven / Southerndown beach carpark. When tides permit walk/ scamper left across the beach. When tides do not permit it's possible to pass over the stile from the lower carpark and walk above the cliff tops to descend sketchily steep grass below Tufa Terrace. Not recommended if you are not familiar with the crag so best to wait until all you risk is wet feet from an ebbing tide.

Continue east(R) along the foreshore from First Inletuntil below the broad fisherman's ledge there are several crozzly crack lines (climbed already but unrecorded) until just level with the large sea washed block.
