Lower Sharpnose

Wafer-thin and defying the onslaught of wind and sea, the three massive fins of rock that poke out from the coastline at Lower Sharpnose Point provide some of the UK\'s most spectacular rock climbs. The routes span the grades from HVS to E8 and all share the magnificent combination of exposure and great positions that make a visit to Lower Sharpnose a memorable experience. The rock is on the whole well supplied with good holds and gear, although a high level of fitness is required in order to hang on and place it. The majority of the lines follow discontinuous thin crack-lines up the blank looking faces of the fins apart from the classic easier corner lines. Some of the routes have in situ equipment in the form of pegs which should always be backed-up if possible and a good rack of cams will be found very useful. The faces of the fins allow for climbing in the sun and shade throughout the day and also may give shelter from the wind.
