A series of shallow buttresses (named A, B and C buttress) and corners make up this unusual section of cliff that is one of the more popular due to its easily accessible routes and less restrictive tidal access. However the routes still have an air of seriousness about them, the protection can be awkward to arrange and poorer sections of rock should be anticipated. Guidebook page 182.
