Compass Point

The overlapping slabs that dominate the jutting prow of Compass Point have been climbed on since the early days of exploration on the Culm Coast. The cliff\'s close proximity to the large beach at Bude, the quality of its routes and the quick-drying nature of the rock mean that Compass Point is one of the coast\'s most popular venues. All of the climbs described are on the friendly side of vertical, very sustained, and on Compass Point\'s best rock which, although generally solid, does need some care as the top of the ridge is approached. The ridge on which the climbs finish has seen periods of instability over the years but can still be negotiated with care.
